Without knowing any details of your application, it's hard to say how to fix 
it.  If you are indeed running out of data space, then consider these ideas:
- In an object-oriented environment such as Delphi, there is really not a lot 
of reasons to have a large number of items in the global data space.  You 
just shouldn't have that many global variables.  If you do, then you need to 
rethink your design.  Try putting all your globals into a class.  Classes are 
allocated from the heap.  Encapsulate more or your data into new or existing 
classes.
- If you have a lot of forms and you are creating instances of them at 
run-time, you may not need to use global variables for them.  If you are 
auto-creating all your forms, consider creating them in code and deleting the 
global variables for them.  Of course, these variables, being class 
instances, are really pointers and don't take up all that much room.
- If you have a lot of string constants and literals, put them into a 
resource file and load them as needed with LoadStr.
- Large constant datasets should be read in as needed, either from a resource 
file or from some other type of file.

Actually, the project will be smaller and simpler.  It will just take more 
work to convert it.

You will probably be able to squeeze more room into your data space by 
converting to a 32-bit program, but it would be a patch, not a cure.  Your 
program would still eat a lot of valuable memory.
