Out of memory compiling big VB4 16bit App

Yes, I have been stuck with EXACTLY the same problem for over a month,
without any solution. All I know is that it has nothing to do with
any system defficiency, and that the "out of memory" message is
actually a red herring for some other problem, and nobody I've talked
to has a clue what it is.
Sorry I am of no help, but unless you hear of a solution fairly soon,
I would recommend that you anticipate having to reduce the number of
forms in your app in order to compile in 16-bit. I'm now regretting
waiting so long.
