I believe SAS/C will handle C source files that generate more than 32K of object code. The problem is *functions* that generate more than 32K of object code! I have the same problem in Amiga f2c. I really hope this problem is fixed in the next rev. of the compiler. I have sent some mail to Jay re: this problem, hopefully he can report more information about the situation. >>>Tal Lancaster >> |. o.| || The Jay Denebeim >Tal Lancaster Loren J.
