Summary: 32-bit to 16-bit, compiler table limits



For the past few days I have been in the process of porting over a UNIX
(system V) program over to a XENIX machine (It's a TI-1100 2MB of ram,
with nothing real special under the hood). 

I have been having a problem of running out of heap space. The error occures
when the compiler hits a whole load of DEFINE statements (in "C", obviously).

The book recommends:

	o	Add more memory
	o 	Break the program into small segments

	I added 3 additional megs of RAM to no avail and broke down
	the program into a whole bunch of little programs. Same error,
	"Out of heap space."

	My thinking now is that the compiler can only handle a preset
	number of defines and tables. Is this thinking along the right
	track or am I way out in left-field?

	Has anyone else had a similiar problem?

	Any and all help is greatly appreciated...
