This is really intended for Chuck Bilbe @ SUN but I haven't been able
to reach him via email lately.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are in the process of porting a rather large Modula-2 program from
the VAX (the Hamburg Compiler) to the SUN Modula-2 compiler. We have run 
into the following problem with the Modula-2 linker (m2l):

     ---- fatal error: MLink : Too many modules.

I assume this means I have exceeded the maximum of 128 modules. Can I get
arround this limitation in some way? When can I expect an update with a
larger constant...? As far as I can make out our program contains a total
of 134 modules including the various system library modules.

Also, is it possible to do a partial link with m2l? With the large number of
modules that we have it would be nice to be able to create libraries that
can be linked separately. 

Can anyone help?
