I am a student of the University of Geneva and I have a problem in linking
many large FORTRAN77 programs. I work on a personal computer (HP 150). My 
linker is the last version (version 3.2) of the Microsoft FORTRAN compiler.

As I link my FORTRAN77 programs, the MS-FORTRAN linker displays the following
error message : "Too many segments". The upper limit on segments is 256. A
segment corresponds to an 8086 register.
 
How could I declare fewer segments (without changing the structure of my pro-
grams, if possible) ?

Does exist a FORTRAN compiler (for personal computer) which :

- allows the control and the managing (assignment of the group name and the  
  class name to the segments) of the segments by the user or

- its upper limit on segments is greater than 256 or

- the managing of the segments is more optimal than the MS-FORTRAN compiler ?

If yes then what are its referencies ?

Remarks : It's not a problem of available memory !
