I am interested in knowing what the largest programs are that have
been successfully run on the ibm-pc.  It is sad to start a large project
and find later that the lack of overlays, loader symbol table limitations,
or other system limitations prevent completion of the project.  If one 
is planning a large program on the IBM-PC, what operating system and 
what language is recommended?  Can IBM/Microsoft Pascal cope with large
overlaid programs?  Appreciate advice and experiences.
