In Turbo C, the compiler assigns _TEXT segments as <filename>_TEXT
when using large model. Are you sure you're using large model? If so,
then the next likely cause is that the compiled file generated a
code segment (<filename>_TEXT) larger than 64K. This can happen in 
large model when the code for a single source file is large. Try
breaking your source file into 2 or more smaller files and recompile. 
That should do it. 

Cheers!
