Several issues ago someone asked about a linker that would handle
large numbers of publics.
Microsoft ships just such a product to its OEM customers. We use
it for linking together GW-BASIC which has a very large number of
publics. I would reccommend contacting Microsoft and asking them
whether BIGLINK is available as a product. I use if for all
linking now, small or large. The banner on the version we now
use is:
Microsoft Object Linker V2.02 (Large)

This linker is very fast. Before BIGLINK was available we were forced
to use PLINK. PLINK took over 45 minutes to link a moderate sized
GW-BASIC. BIGLINK does the same job in less then 10 minutes !!
