You might also want to think about moving up another memory model.  If
your compiling in say, small model, you're limited to 64K maximum for
stack+data+code.  Whereas in say a huge model (please, there's probably
a happy medium for you) you get up to 1Meg stack+data+code (that is to say
the theoretical addressable size).  Something other than small, prehaps `the
compact or medium model is what you should look at.
