[Limdep Nlogit List] Allocating memory does not work

[William Greene]

Ken.   tools/options/projects is the way to reset this value.
1. Start the program.
2. Go directly to tools/options/projects
3. Set the number of cells to 10 million.  Don't set the number
of rows, just the number of cells.
4.  Press OK and leaves the tools menu.
5.  Exit the program without reading the data.
6.  Restart the program.
7.  READ or IMPORT the data.
8.  Use File:Save Project As to save the project.
Now continue your processing.  Before you exit the program,
save the project.  Then, use File->Open Project to resume the
session.
