Remove as much as you can from your global data stuff (large arrays etc.). 
You'll have to live with this on a PC running MessDOS. Your default data
segment can only be as large as 64K 8-(

malloc the stuff instead.

Our Sun is not the on the only start in the universe,
Our planet is not the only planet spinning around a start in the universe,
Our planet is not the only planet with `intelligent' life forms on it,
Our planet *IS* the only planet in the universe using MessDOS.
