If the thing tells you that too many *files* are open, then why in the
world would you think that your problem is with *memory*? I would
suggest to try to enlarge the maximum number of files your system can
handle before considering that the damn thing lies about the cause of the
trouble.
If you run on MS-DOS (no Windows), edit your CONFIG.SYS and add this line
anywhere in the file:
FILES=100
If your CONFIG.SYS already has a FILES= line, replace it with the above.
Then reboot your machine and try linking again. If that won't help,
please tell more about your system configuration (hardware and software)
and also post the command line you use to link and the the exact text of
the error message(s) that you see.
