- Hi, folks:
-
- I wrote a DOS program, with size about 512K, which is the size when I use
- dir to check it.
-
- I also use dos command mem to check dos avaible memory, which gave me max
- execute file size 560k, because there are some device driver I load in
- the config.sys, I knew 512k is not real program size, there are some
- stack variable and memory allocated on heap.
-
- Now my program is not stable, it can work for fine for couple days, then
- it lock up. It may just lock up keyboard or screen, it may also reboot
- PC, I wonder if because it close to 640 K limit ? How can I check the real
- program size include stack size and heap ?
-
- Is PhLarp an easy package to go beyond 640 K ?
-
- Thanks in advance, please send me mail.
