[comp.windows.ms.programmer] large model programs

axt654@csc.anu.oz.au (12/11/90)

Hi,
	I'm porting a large application to windows and need to use the large
model. Unfortunately I always get an UNRECOVERABLE APPLICATION ERROR whenever I 
start the app. At this stage I'm just trying to convert a sample program (tty
in fact) to the large model to see how it's done. It's happy in the small and
medium model but gives the above error in compact or large. Does windows not
like far pointers to data? The manuals helpfully say that the small and medium
models are recommended :-)
	I've tried the FIXED attribute in the DATA statement of the def file to
no avail. So how do you get a large model program to work under windows?

Thanks in advance
