Recently I began using Borland C++ 3.1 instead of Microsoft C ver. 6.0

When compiling small programs with BC (created with MSC) everything seems Ok.

But when I try compiling a program with several code segments (using large 
memory model), this linker error occurs:

	Group DGROUP exceeds 64K

My program uses some global arrays that occupies a big portion of memory, 
but this is no problem when compiling with Microsoft C 6.0....

Why does Borland say it exceeds 64K and Microsoft say it doesn't ?


Please mail me if you know something I don't...
