Hello,
	Does anyone out there know how to get around Borland C++ 3.1/DOS's global
data limit?  I'm trying to port a TIFF library from UNIX to DOS.  The
only problem so far is a few large tables that a defined in a header file.
Borland C complains that there is too much global data in this file.  Does
anyone know ways around this?  I'm not much of a PC guru...neither is
anyone else in our organization...so I ask the pros.  I figured that
Borland C limits the global data to 1 segment (64k?) But, I don't see why
it can't fit one of these tables per segment rather than try to
fit it all in one...(is this a correct assumption?)  Thanks to all
who can help.  

Russ
