   Why not switch to FreePascal, VirtualPascal or GnuPascal? All three are   
   32 Bit and your memory worries go away. And they are free for the   
   download. FreePascal now even comes with its own RAD system (i.e. Delphi   
   clone), Lazarus. And there is a lot of graphics stuff packed with it,   
   which I haven't checked in detail but which may help you out.   
      
   TP6 will limit you to DOS applications, which are no longer supported in   
   WinXP and the upcoming Longhorn. And the chances to run DOS on modern   
   systems becomes smaller and smaller, because a lot of the hardware is   
   not supported (e.g. USB). You are painting yourself into a corner there.
