MSVC 1.5 - how do I force strings into _CODE segment

[Ed]

I'm not sure if this is the best group to post this, but I have a
question about ancient MSVC 1.5.

Right now, all strings in my code, i.e. text in quotes, are put in the
_DATA segment by default.

I need to tell the compiler/linker to put these in the _CODE segment
where there is more space available.

Is there a way to do this? I've looked through the MSVC 1.5 help files
and can't find any compiler or linker switches that do this.

Thanks for your help!

This is off-topic here. Try posting at a comp.os.ms-windows.* group.
See msdn.microsoft.com or ask at one of their forums. Try using the /O1
switch perhaps.
