Subj : How can I make a very large program run?

I've been working on a very large program for several years, and I believe
I've run into a size limitation.  My problem is with TPrintDlg, and the
dialog does or does not work, depending on what my Windows default printer
is.  The problem appears to go away if I either delete a few modules from
the project file or if I make the STACKSIZE or HEAPSIZE smaller in the
project's .DEF file.  I think that by making the stack and heap smaller, I
must be making room for some other part of the program.
  This is a 32-bit Windows program, using Borland C++, v. 5.01 and OWL.
What kinds of limits could I be running into, and could I avoid these limits
if I put much of the code into a DLL?
  I don't know if this helps, but here's a copy of the summary at the top of
the .MAP file:
 Start         Length     Name                   Class
 0001:00000000 00011CB3FH _TEXT                  CODE
 0002:00000000 0000396E4H _DATA                  DATA
 0002:000396E4 000000000H _TLSCBA                TLSCBA
 0002:000396E4 00000002AH _INIT_                 INITDATA
 0002:0003970E 000000000H _INITEND_              INITDATA
 0002:0003970E 000000024H _EXIT_                 EXITDATA
 0002:00039732 000000000H _EXITEND_              EXITDATA
 0002:00039734 000000000H CONST                  CONST
 0002:00039734 0000005A8H _BSS                   BSS
 0002:00039CDC 000000000H _BSSEND                BSS

Thanks for any ideas.
