I'm getting

LINK : error L2041: stack plus data exceed 64K

for a program writting in Microsoft C 5.1.  The program consists of a large
number of seperate object files & libraries.  The object files have all
been compiled with the following flags:

	/Zl /W3 /Oailsp /AL /J		# optimizations, large model

I've also tried (for the object files but not the libraries):

	/Zl /W3 /Oailsp /AL /Aw /J

in an attempt to locate the stack segment by itself.  I'm not sure I
correctly understand the purpose of the /Aw flag..  The files are all linked
with the following flags to the linker:

	/NOI /F /PAC /ST:8196

So, the questions are:

	1) anyway to convince the linker to create a seperate stack segment?
	2) any nice easy fix to this?
	3) any difficult fix to this?
	4) any helpful/constructive comments of any sort?

I'm stumped, tired, frustrated, and going home.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  BTW, please ignore the 'path' and 'from'
field in the header, they are the result of a screwy system here
on campus.  I'm quite able to read news, but any email should be
sent to

Thanks in advance,
