To get the huge model, which is what you need, the only change to be
made in the yacc source is the addition of "#define HUGE" at the end
of "files".  Assuming you do not have the source, I would hope that
SCO would do this for you, considering, first, how easy it is to make
the change, and second, that they should have compiled with the HUGE
option in the first place.
