Hello all PC experts. I need some advice.
I am trying to run an MS-WINDOWS (3.1) app. This app. enables me to
add my own C++ code. The app. has a COMPILE button. Whem I hit this
button, it attempts to generate an executable from its own modules +
mine. To perform this task the app. uses a make.mak file that came
with it (and which I modified to suit my needs/environment).
When I tried the COMPILE option, everything went OK until the C++
compiler attmpted to execute the LINK operation in the make file. The
linker aborted with the "out of memory" message.
I used Norton Utilities (Ver. 8) to monitor the resources. Here are
the monitor's readings BEFORE I started my app. and DURING the
problematic link phase:

RESOURCE	BEFORE RUN		DURING LINK

GDI (%)			78			70
USER (%)		80			74
HANDLES (%)		91			89
FILES			8			21	(40 allocated in config.sys)
MEMORY (WINDOWS) (MB)>9			>9

I use a ZEOS 486 50MHz IBM PC compatible with 8MB RAM. The C++
compiler is Borland C++ Ver. 4 on CD-ROM.

My questions are:
-	Are the resources BEFORE run reasonable (this is the initial
state as windows launches)? 
-	Are the resources DURING run too low? They seem OK to me.
-	What's the problem? Any advice, ideas etc.?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Moshe
