Another way, which may be easier, is to obtain, perhaps off a magazine
cover, a copy of Delphi (probably >D1) and, running in a DOS box,
compile with "DCC32 -cc prog.pas".

My longcalc.pas compiles with TP7, with a maximum structure size of
nearly 64Kbytes; it also compiles with D3 DCC32, with a maximum
structure size of nearly (ISTR) 2Gbytes - I've certainly calculated "1
shl 99999998" or thereabouts with it (and I have but 64Mbytes RAM).  The
only relevant customisation for size was the change of the structure
size constant.
