Borland Linker Error Message

I am new to C/C++ in general and Borland 5.0 in particular. I am attempting to convert a 16-bit app over to 32-bit. I've been stymied though with the following error:
Linking C:\CODE\myapp\myapp.exe
Fatal: 16 bit segments not supported in module std\source\build.cpp

I can't figure out what could be a '16 bit segment.' I am compiling it as 32.

Any ideas?

Neither can we without source code...

This could really be a lot of things, something within the source file is performing a 16bit operation, using a 16bit memory location (could be an integer attempting to be used at 16 bits as well).

You have to be very careful when converting 16bit applications, they use memory in wildly different manners than 32bit applications, such that 16bit applications shared memory locations and DID NOT use viritual memory addressing to map DLL files.
