   I believe you're having problems due to the 64K boundry crossing 
   just like you mentioned -- but using /AH will not fix it for you
   since that tells the compiler how you want to treat pointers NOT
   data space size.  You have to use the halloc() function to allocate
   any data space larger than 64K ( and have MSC do the pointer
   manipulations for you ).  According to my documentation, if you want
   an array > 128K you must also ensure that the array element size be
   a power of 2.

   Hope this helps ...
