(Naive?) question about BIG programs

[Rich Salz]

We're compiling a set of libraries and programs with these flags:
	-LARGE -M2ht -SEG 1000 -F 4000
attempts to run an executable give a "Not enough core" message.

Aha, no problem, we try the wondrous proctl() call, as in
	main(ac, av) int ac; char **av; {
	    if (proctl(getpid(), 1, (char *)0) < 0)
		perror("proctl failed"), exit(1);
	    execvp(av[1], &av[1]);
	    perror("execvp failed"), exit(2);
	}
we get the same message.

Other programs link, but say "/bin/ld : error: stack and data exceed 64K"
We get the same warnings when we try to run the resultant executable.

A typical "size a.out" shows
	270788 + 47622 + 11342 = 329752 = 0x50818
The machine has 4Meg, nswap=6920, maxprocmem=0, and we've got
Excelan installed.

We've got phone support from SCO, but it the few times we do speak
with them have been basically useless.

Please send replies to me; I'll summarize.
