I'm trying to port a medium-sized project from Borland C++ to MS C++ 7.0a
(I just got an upgrade from MS today).  It fails to build in the link
stage, complaining of data segments over 64K.

Well, I know I've got initialized data segments over 64K, and it's all
string constants (okay, this is a text adventure game).  But that's why
I'm not using fast compile, and why I'm choosing the huge model.

This works in Borland.  Anybody know if it can be made to work in MS?
I don't really want to change the design philosophy, because I'm trying
to keep this thing working on multiple platforms (It already works on
UNIX and Mac).

I'm running under PWB, if it matters.  I'm also running under QEMM, with
QDPMI, and DesqView, rather than Windoze, but I would be astonished if
any of that made a difference.
