The QuickC Version 2.00 presentation graphics functions
_pg_chartscatter and _pg_chartscatterms fail if there is not enough
memory in the far heap. These functions, like their cousins _pg_chart
and _pg_chartms, depend on the availability of memory in the far heap
for successful execution. The amount of memory needed for each
function is directly proportional to the number of points being
displayed. These functions return zero (0) if they execute
successfully.

To display more points with _pg_chartscatter and _pg_chartscatterms,
try executing outside of the QuickC 2.00 environment. This method
should free up enough memory for the functions to operate. Another way
to free up memory is to turn debug information off.
