Hi,

  does borland's linker have a limitation on how large a object file or
resource file can be? i have a resource file that is about 12MB after i
compile it with the resource compiler (it has large bitmaps in them). when i
try to link my executable i get this error:

Fatal: Access violation.  Link terminated.
Warning: Unable to perform incremental link - performing full link...
Fatal: Access violation.  Link terminated.

at first i thought it was my program that was bad, but i tried using g++ to
compile it and it runs and works. i also tried using the free command
compiler and that doesn't work either. my build environment is borland 5.02
compiler but i usually write a makefile and compile via the command line
rather than the IDE. i don't think that should make a difference though.

any ideas?

aloha,
mike
