Hi,
I have a question, could someone please explain? 
I was looking at the Think C manual and there was this line (I am not a Mac
programmer):
The static and global data area of Think C applications is limited to
32K total per project. If you want to be able to access global or local
memory larger than the 32K limit, allocate the memory dynamically as a
pointer or handle.
NOW: Is this the limitation of the compiler or the Mac? If it is not because
of the compiler why Mac people making fun of IBM people because of the 
segmentation problems in IBM? It is at least 64K in the IBM. 
I am just curious, any information is appreciated.
Thanks.
