    Turbo pascal 5.0 has only large memory model as far
    as I know.  The restriction on code and data is 64K each
    per unit.  Thus if you require more than 64K worth of
    global variables, extend their definition accross units -- 
    this isn't really much to ask since you should modularize
    your programs anyway.  Further, if you absolutely require
    a data structure larger than 64K, I believe you can use
    new() ( or some special routine, I don't have my manuals here ) 
    to allocate it from the heap, which is limited only by the
    amount of memory in your system.  

    Hope this helps..
