- Hello,
- Does anyone out there know how to get around Borland C++ 3.1/DOS's global
- data limit? I'm trying to port a TIFF library from UNIX to DOS. The
- only problem so far is a few large tables that a defined in a header file.
- Borland C complains that there is too much global data in this file. Does
- anyone know ways around this? I'm not much of a PC guru...neither is
- anyone else in our organization...so I ask the pros. I figured that
- Borland C limits the global data to 1 segment (64k?) But, I don't see why
- it can't fit one of these tables per segment rather than try to
- fit it all in one...(is this a correct assumption?) Thanks to all
- who can help.
