For quite some time we have used the Topspeed Modula-2 compiler from JPI with
quite reasonable results to write fearly large Modula-2 programs.
Recently we upgraded from Version 1.0, release 1.17 to Version 2.0,
release 1.06b.
This new version gives you many different ways to control your memory
models etcetera.

However, we have some problems with this new version as it gives an
error in the 
linking process of our programs, stating that a "Group or Segclass
exceeds 64K". It does not matter what type of memory model you use.
The module that generates this error is a code module (extension
_TEXT).

Therefore I have two questions:

  -1- How can I solve this problem, possibly without rewriting the
modules?

  -2- Is there a standard way to make the new version behave like the
previous
      one, with regard to the memory models?

Please reply by mail to:

Thanks!
