- Please explain this point, I only programmed full 32bits CPUs untill now, and
- I dont understand how i.e. PowerBASIC doesn't support "flat memory model".
- Do we have max 64K for arrays? ;) I dont think so..
- so what's the problem? Maybe the Peek instruction has a 64K segmentation?
-
- If one wants to code for 486/586, how to code using always 32bit addresses? :P
-
- Thanks for help/hints.
