- I recently started a project in which I needed to access Extended
- Memory, and so I found some ASM to access the functions of HIMEM.SYS.
- Well, heres my problem, when working in the design window (Borland Turbo
- C++) and i go to run, the program hangs. But if I run the same EXE I
- just compiled right from DOS it works fine. I believe that TC runs in
- DPMI, ie: protected mode, and this may be the source of my problems.
- Does anyone know a way of running the Borland Turbo C++ design
- environment in real mode, via a switch or something, without reverting to
- command line stuff?
- Perhaps a different version supports this?
-
- Thanks for any assistance you could provide. Steve.
