Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     LINK Fatal Error L1071
 
     segment _TEXT exceeds 64K-16
 
     The segment named _TEXT grew larger than 65,520 bytes. This error
     is likely to occur only in small-model C programs, but it can
     occur when any program with a segment named _TEXT is linked using
     the LINK /DOSSEG option.
 
     Small-model C programs must reserve code addresses 0 and 1; this
     range is increased to 16 for alignment purposes.
 
     Try compiling and linking using the medium or large model. If the
     program is in C, use CL's /NT option or the __based keyword (or
     its predecessor, the alloc_text pragma) to build smaller segments.
