- I'd like a library for accessing expanded and/or extended memory in
- Borland C++. If the source is included, even better.
-
- Also, I would like to know what's best/fastest to use when programming
- real/V8086 mode as I am doing. I figure that with XMS, you will have to
- copy the data to conventional memory before doing any processing
- on it, and with EMS, all you do is map the correct pages into the
- page frame at 0xe000 (or whatever). As I see it, EMS is faster.
-
- Am I right?
-
- Please don't mention DOS extenders, as I am well aware of those. That
- goes for Phar Lap, DJGPP, Watcom whatever.
-
- BTW, is the DOS extender in BP 7.0 usable with BC++ 3.1?
