Error: C:\DM\HMVG\MAIN.c(1746): segment size is 0x143bd, exceeding 64Kb

I'm writing a DOS RPG character generator program and am getting the above error when I Build. When I double click on the message it just takes me to the ending brace in MAIN.

Could someone please tell me what I doing wrong? I realize that I have not given allot of information to tell what is wrong but all the build files are around half a meg total.

I've only declared about 1,000 int variables.

If this is some sort of built in limit could someone explain to me what those limits are?

In 16 bits DOS memory is 'segmented', i.e. broken up in 64 Kb blocks.
Because of this cute limitation the maximum array (object) size can not exceed
64 Kb.
It seems that in your case you try to put too much code into one segment.
Break the code up in different .c files or try the -Nc switch...
