The problem is that the data section has grown to larger than 64K. If it was a reference to an external it would have a symbol name. The fact that it is "UNKNOWN" means that it is a reference to the module's own data section, and the fixup offset after merging exceeds 32768. Probably has some large arrays declared somewhere. The solution is to use AllocMem to allocate the large data structures. -- John Meissen ..............................
