Hi there,

I hope this is the right forum for this question (I don't normally
read this group).  I have to write a set of test programs on a PC for
a new laser scanner that we are getting here in our lab.  The problem
I'm having is allocating a short 256x256 array in borland C.  I know I
should be using the huge data type, but I get two types of errors
depending on how I define the array.  If I say

   int array[256][256]

I get the error "array size too large"

but if I put

   int huge array[256][256]

I get the error "conflicting type modifiers."

I'm sure it's a simple answer so if you can send me mail with the
answer I'd appreciate it (no need to blow bandwidth on this one).

thanks,

mark
