DJ,

I am sorry to bother you, I know you must get a lot of email, but I am in quite
a jam.  I have chosen to use DJGPP on a project at work and things are not going
very well.  While we have been able to figure things out so far, this one is a
real (not directly code related ;-) stumper.  We are past our due date and this
has stopped all development!

Our program compiles and is able to be debugged in pieces (using special main()
versions), but when all of the pieces are compiler together we get the following
error:

Error: e:/djgpp/bin\ld.exe: Posterm.exe: warning: .text: line number overflow:
0x11a1c > 0xffff

If I use a -s option to gcc, it compiles/links fine, but then no GDB :-(  It is
also impossible to work on a project of this size (over 110 files totaling 118K
of source) without a debugger.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Our environment is RHIDE
v1.4.7 and DJGPP v2.01 built / debugged under W95, targeted for DOS v6.22 on
486-Pentium class machines.

Any help you can give (or a pointer to someone who has worked on something of
this size) would be beneficial.

Thanks for all your great efforts,
KJohn

P.S.
I am very familiar with both Unix (it been a few years) and DOS programming, but
this has got me stumped (I can find no option to increase the .text segment
size).
