I am writing som 386 assmebly code with Microsoft Assembler 6.0b
and it assembles quite nicely, including in "Flat" memory
model. This allows for a 32 bit (4 Gigabyte) segment, but
when I make a segment larger that 64KB I am
unable to link it into an executable.

Questions:

1. Is it possible to run a program with a single segment
   larger than 64 KB, even if my program puts the CPU into
   32 bit mode (of course 16 bit for DOS calls)?

2. If the above is true, then where do I get a linker
   that will link a segment > 64 KB.
