[net.micro.pc] problem compiling large program on Coherent

Remember that, simply due to differences between the 8088 and the
VAX, the code generated by the same program on an 8088 is 
bound to be larger than on the VAX -- that's part of the penalty
for 16 bits vs. 32 bits.  Your 58K VAX program probably came out
to something over 64K on the 8088.  

So long as your program isn't all text and no data (!) you should
have no problems so long as you load the program with the
"-i" option to indicate split I/D spaces (just like on a PDP-11).
I regularly compile and load programs on Coherent that are much
bigger than 64K without any difficulties.
