I have the been given the task of converting a large program written
for Microsoft C 5.1 to Turbo C 2.0. My problem is that I keep getting
a link error : DGROUP: group/segment exceeds 64K. According to Borlands
documentation, you are only allowed 64K of global data.
Does anyone know how I can get around this without using the HUGE model
(which does link but the program crashes).
Thanks for your help.

I haven't tried it, but you *might* be able to name your data segments differently in the different models. Try using -z... and see how it works. You'll have to use large model. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) To surrender is to remain in the hands of barbarians for the rest of my life.

I do not have my documentation here at work, but I think this limitation applies to a single sourcefile. That is, no one source file may have more than 64k of data. In Huge model, each sourcefile creates a separate data, text and bss section, so that file a.c has an a_text, a_data and a_bss section. -- Dave Klotzbach ihnp4!ihlpl!klotz IE 2F-518 (312) 416-7437
