We're porting a system from the Unix/DOS world to the Mac, and I was
rather shocked to find out about this 32K limit on global data.  Our
system contains > 64K, and we'd really like not to have to do any more
rewriting than necessary.

So: I understand that Aztec C does not impose this restriction, and that
it works with MPW.  Does it have another fatal flaw, or do those of you
who use it find it satisfactory?  Are there other possible choices for
someone in our position?

I saw a note to the effect that this subject has been beaten to death here
recently, so I apologize for bringing it up again.  I'm new to this group,
though.  If you want to send E-mail, I'll summarize for the net.

Thanks in advance.
