I wrote a language and interpreter using Lex, YACC and curses on a vax
and am now attempting to get it to run under MSC 4.0 .  The language
is window oriented and the PC-curses windows require 4K+.  My code
bottoms out in 5 or 6 windows (I malloc space for other things as well) in
the small model.

I tried compiling under a large model and the code ran for a while and then
froze. My question is, what are the things to worry about in large models?
Are there special considerations when passing arguements by address? Will
short integers behave? Where should I be looking (codeview just hangs so its
no help) ?

Thanks,
/nwc

P.S. I am really sick of seeing "Unknown Compiler Error, Contact Microsoft
Technical Support", I hope 5.0 does not loose as much as 4.0.
