- Dear fellow MS-DOS C programmers:
-
- I am a Microsoft C 6.0 user thinking of switching to Borland C++ 3.1. My
- main concern is accessing about 7 megs of extended memory past the 640K limit
- imposed by DOS. I am already using large linked lists rather than
- multidimensional arrays to conserve memory, but I still need more. Does anyone
- know about Borland's Extended Memory Interface or its VROOM features? For
- example, will it let me access this much memory? Is there a counterpart in
- Borland C++ to Microsoft's _huge pointers? Can I mix memory models with
- Borland (i.e. _huge pointers with a large memory model compilation)? Any other
- thoughts on or reactions to Borland's product would be much appreciated.
-
- Please post any responses on this newsgroup, as I don't have a EMAIL
- address yet.
-
- Thanks,
-
