Win98 does not even know how to spell "Form", how could it have a limit on
that? The problem is a mix of the total number of named resources and their
combined size. Forms, frames, datamodules, bitmaps, cursors are all stored in
named resources by Delphi. If you hit this limit there is no other cure than
to split the monolithic EXE into several executables, e.g. a core EXE and a
number of packages. This works since the limit is per executable.

Build your app with run-time packages as a test. If you can now run it again
your have hit the limit. If it does still not work your problem is elsewhere.
