I am writing an XCMD in Think C which has grown beyond 32k.
I just looked at the chapter on the segment manager in 
Inside Mac;  I guess if an XCMD grows beyond the maximum
size of a single segment on the Mac (32k) you have to
call the segment manager.

I'm curious if anybody has done this:  written an XCMD of
this size, had to use the segment manager.  How hard is this?
Have you got any tips?

Thanks in advance,
Greg Sandell
