Lines: 17 I am in urgent need of a linker for the MPW system that can handle a global data area in excess of 32K. My target program includes a data area exceeding 150K. Does anyone have a pre- release, or tweaked, or "fixed" version of the linker that allows a larer global area? It appears that the linker takes all string and numeric constants, no matter what the module scope, and puts them into one CODE resource. I am in desperate need of this fix. Please contact me as soon as possible if you have ANY information, hints or suggestions. Please Email replies if possible; I will summarize. -- Steve Gaarder Cornell University, 171 Hollister, Ithaca NY 14853 607-255-5389 UUCP: {cmcl2,shasta,rochester,uw-beaver}!cornell!batcomputer!sparks BITNET: sparks@crnlthry.BITNET ARPA: sparks@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu
