I was trying to use a very large array (char  lines[1000][150];) using
Turbo-C++ on a 80-x86 based pc.  I realized I needed a particular type
of pointer to address this thing, so I used a FAR pointer.  However,
I did something wrong and real quickly compromised the integrity of the
FAT file on the hard-drive.  (not very fun, I couldn't even boot up)

Needless to say I don't want to do this again.  How can I declare and
address this array?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
