I've dabbled a bit in programming with Lightspeed Pascal, and have run across
an annoying, if not crippling problem.  After I program for a while, the 'GO'
option from the menu no longer will run the program; it states 'Program segment
longer than 32K' or something like that (I haven't got it right in front of
me).  Needless to say, this is crippling.  My program sufferes from errors of
a bizarre nature, but debugging is impossible.  Perhaps the 32K limit is itself
the error.  I don't know, but I understand that this is not exactly an
unknown problem.  I am working on a 512KE macintosh.  First of all, is there
any simple way to avoid this problem?  Second of all, exactly what is it that
is greater than 32K (not the code itself, certainly), and how does one correct
this?  Any advice and personal experiences are not only welcome but actively
solicited.  Please reply by e-mail, as I don't read this group all that often.
My health and sanity depends on your aid!  And some nice public domain programs
may well result...

Thanks a bunch.
Todd
