There are several options:

1.  Use the "/Gtn" flag to tell the compiler to put all items greater than
    "n" bytes long into FAR DATA.

2.  If you have any global or static arrays, use "malloc" or "GlobalAlloc"
    instead.

3.  Put any quoted strings into a STRINGTABLE resource in the program's RC
    file.

4.  Make sure the stack is no larger than it has to be.

These measures should help.
