│ Break through the DOS 640K barrier! │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
ExoSpace breaks through the DOS 640K memory barrier by allowing you to run
Clipper applications in protected mode. In protected mode, extended memory is
directly available without the need for swapping. This solves many of the
major memory and performance problems experienced by Clipper developers.
ExoSpace is a Trademark of ObjTech, Inc. & SofDesign Int., Inc. U.S.A.
Say No to Load Size
────────────────────
With ExoSpace, load size is a thing of the past. "ExoSpaced" applications can
be loaded in as little as 256K of conventional DOS memory, as long as
sufficient extended memory is available. You can link and run your Clipper
application, or even a memory-hungry editor!
No More Overlaying Hassles
───────────────────────────
WxoSpace takes the headaches out of code overlaying. Just specify all your
.OBJ's and .LIB's and link! If overlaying is necessary in low-memory
situations, it happens automatically and transparently.
Virtual Memory You Can Rely On
───────────────────────────────
ExoSpace replaces Clipper's real-mode DOS/EMS-based Virtual Memory manager
with a robust, transparent, protected mode virtual memory engine developed by
Rational Systems. The same Rational systems technology is used by Lotus, IBM,
Quarterdeck, Borland, Symantec and Watcom.
No Code Changes Required
─────────────────────────
In most cases, you won't need to make a single change in your Clipper code,
or in well behaved C or Assembler code that conforms to the Clipper Extend
API. Only a minor change in your link script may be needed.
FEATURES
─────────
* Extends drectly addressable memory by 2500% from 640K to 16 MB
* Virtual memory swapping can be reduced or eliminated entirely
* Runs applications with less than 256K of conventional DOS memory if
enough extended memory is available, solving low memory problems caused by
network shells, terminal emulators and oth resident programs
* Includes a protected mode linker that automatically overlays code and data
if necessary
* Can be added to new or existing applications with no code changes
* No runtime licensing fees
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
────────────────────
* IBM AT, PS/2 or compatible computer using the Intel 80286, 386, 486 or
compatible CPU
* 2 megabytes of memory
* Hard disk drive and 5.25 or 3.5 inch disk drive

ABOUT THE DEMO
───────────────
TBNET.EXE (source in TBNET.PRG) is a Networkable Tbrowse
(slightly modified source from Greg Lief's book on Networking
with Clipper 5.2) and has been linked with ExoSpace, no other
modifications were necessary ! ExoSpace even reads you Blinker
or RTLink Link-Files !
bring down your DOS-Memory to 250Kb or even less and watch what
happens, when you call TBNET.EXE ! ...it still works just fine,
when you have enough Extended Memory (XMS).
To bring down your DOS-Memory use eatmem or any TSR, if you don't
have any, just call COMMAND.COM 20 times or so. Watch your available
memory using the DOS command MEM.
Speed will be even better, if you don't use and memory manager.
best regards from Hamburg, Germany,
Max Bressel
