The following error is from "Linker Error Messages" in (1) the manual
"CodeView and Utilities," Section C.2, Page 363, and in (2) the
"Microsoft QuickC Compiler Programmer's Guide," Section D.4, Page 369:

(1)
L1070       segment size exceeds 64K

            A single segment contained more than 64K of code or data.

            Try compiling and linking using the large model.

(2)
L1070       name: segment size exceeds 64K

            The specified segment contained more than 64K of code or
            data.

            Try compiling and linking using the large model.

Fatal errors cause the linker to stop execution. Fatal error messages
have the following format:

   location : fatal error L1xxx: messagetext

In these messages, location is the input file associated with the
error, or LINK if there is no input file. If the input file is an OBJ
or LIB file and has a module name, the module name is enclosed in
parentheses.

Use a large data model (compact, large, or huge). Try applying the /Gt
compilation option to lower the threshhold.
