Which version of "make" do you use? I had the same problem because I used
the "make" program from Borland's C++ compiler. This "make" installs a DPMI
handler which takes all the extended memory for itself. You can get around this
error by using "maker", the real mode version of Borland's make, or better
one of the public domain/shareware "make" programs like "ndmake".
