Question:

After receiving a "L1053 - symbol table overflow" LINK error

message, I increased the amount of available memory on my machine by

disabling terminate-and-stay-resident software. The link is now

successful. Page 369 of the "Microsoft Codeview and Utilities Software

Development Tools for the Microsoft OS/2 Operation System Pre-Release"

manual indicates the symbol table limit is 256K. Why does the amount

of available memory affect this size?

Response:

The linker symbol table is no longer limited by 256K, but by the

amount of available memory on your machine. The documentation on Page

369 is incorrect.
