	Hello.  I am having a problem, and I hope someone can help me.

	I am trying to declare a char array that is rather large, and TCC
won't accept it, it says it is too large to fit within available memory.
Bull!  I know for a fact that there is at least 300 or 400K left.  Anyway,
here is the declaration:

		char menu[1200][80];

	By my calculations, this shoud be equal to 96K worth.  I am using
the Huge model, which specifically says that arrays of more than 64K may be
used.

	Any help will be most appreciated.
