- If the PharLap DOS extender is too expensive, consider changing to Zortech
- C++ - the whole compiler is cheaper than the PharLap DOS extender.
-
- The Zortech compiler comes with an extender, but for $69 you can get a truly
- excellent extender from Flashtek, which can even support virtual memory.
-
- I *highly* recommend the Flashtek extender - if you have Zortech C++ *get
- this extender* !! (By the way, I am not affiliated with Flashtek, I'm
- merely an impressed customer).
