I have a problem with the MS Linker.  I have a 1.28 Meg object file that
has too many public symbols declared.  The MS Linker will not handle the
file.  The MS Linker manual say to break the object file up into smaller
Objs.  The program that is creating the 1.28 meg object file does not
provide any way of breaking it apart.  

Does anyone know how to break an Object file into many object files with
out source or separate object files?

I have tried loading the object file into a LIB file. No Luck.

After the EXE files is created I use the ERGO extender to create a
protect mode program.  So far it seems the only linker that creates an
ERGO readable EXE and MAP file is the MS linker. 

Is there another linker that will read OBJ and LIB files and create the
correct files for the ERGO extender.  I have talked to ERGO and they
have no solutions other that to break the 1.28 meg object file apart.
