I an using borland C++ 4.02. I am not a sotware guy and consider myself a hacker, but have written a DOS program that is getting pretty large. The first problem had was I had too much global daa defined. I signinficantly reduced this by aboout 15k, so now I should have plenty of room in that repect. But as I added more code I get the message "Compiler table limit exceeded".

The borland help is pretty much useless and just tells me my module needs to be made simpler. Anyway have any suggestions ?

Thanks

First, if you're not a "software guy", you're not a hacker. You may be a cracker (a malicious programmer who likes breaking into systems), but you're sure not a hacker (a programmer who knows workarounds and the ins and outs of systems).

Anyway, what module are you using? Small? Large? Try compiling in large. you can problably change it under some sort of options, compiler options menu or something.

Also, you could try not using global data and instead loading the information from a file.

After I wrote the message it occured to me I used the wrong word. I meant "hacker" in the negative sense, like I hack at code. Putting aside my semantics, I was able to get around the problem by splitting up my code into multiple modules, compiling them seperatly, and then linking them (I was already using the huge memory model).
