Well, through the help of the net, I finally got the program to link
without giving me the "segment exceeds 64k" message.   The problem was
that all intialized and static data gets placed into the default data
segment _DATA, which cannot exceed 64k (thanks greg@gryphon).  Well this
program had alot of strings (static data) and Greg suggested to use the
(undocumented) option -Gt#, where # is any number.  This places all data
objects that are greater than # in size into their own segment.  I used a
value of 4 here.  This has the effect of removing all the strings from
the default data segment.

This seems to have worked.   But now I have another problem:

Fixup overflow near 008b in segment PREPROC_TEXT in /lib/Llibc.a(signal.o)
	offset 262d8H

It seems that many of the LIBRARY routines use PREPROC_TEXT for their text
segment name.  I'm not up on how fixups work (but I know what they are), and
so cannot see what to do here.

Does any one have any more suggestions for me.

Thanks in advance, 
			Brian.
