	I assume you are actually asking about QuickBasic, rather than
QBasic, since QBasic is unable to produce EXE files.  They are actually
two completely different products.

	That being said, I'm not sure I understand your problem.  It is
quite possible to create QuickBasic programs that are several hundred K
in size.  I work with QB4.5 programs in the 3-400K size all the time.
There is a strict limit of 64K of compiled code per module (or .BAS file)
but you can have many, many modules per program.  Just compile each of
them seperately and link them all together.
