- After much playing around I finally got 16 bit mode to link. The key to
- me was not only making sure that not only the CONAGENT.EXE properties for
- all memory where set to auto, but I had to do the same thing to _Default
- as well!
-
- In trying to move code from 16 bit to 32 bit: I am trying to do that in
- stages. First moving from 16 bit real DOS to 16 bit protected mode or 32
- bit protected mode DOS. (Using the Power Pack for 4.5) finally after
- more code changes to a window based system. One of the questions I asked
- Borland sales is if 5.0 del. suite will support 16 and 32 bit protected
- mode DOS programming. Tech. the answer is yes, because in the suite 4.5
- was also shipped! I have read in one of the many readme files that 5.0
- will not support the 4.5 Power Pack. Does anyone know if 5.0 will support
- protected mode DOS programs in the future? I assumed after talking to
- sales protected mode DOS was embedded in 5.0.
-
- For JAVA debugging I read that you had to have an TPC/IP connection.
- Since I use a dial up connection, it works very slowly. If I forget to
- connect up before I debug, nothing happens! Again anyone have any idea on
- why?
-
- Is 5.0 trying to read something from an internet address? Overall I am
- pleased with 5.0. Just wished it supported protected mode DOS
- programming. Because it does not I have to keep a copy of both 4.5 and
- 5.0 on my hard drive. As a result I do not have much room now for many
- projects!
