}The people who ported the C compiler forgot to implement dynamic allocation

}the "important" part of the OS: the MacUserInterface...:-(
}
}On the A/UX that I'm working under, there are two versions of the compiler
}(small and large :-).  The default is the "small" one, i.e., the one with
}the tiny switch symbol table.

One call increase the table size using the -A option in cc... for example,
-A 2 increases the table sizes by a factor of 2. This is MUCH better than using
the "big" versions...

This option is NOT available pre-2.0... on those you'll have to use the bigguns
