- I have a question about the large memory model.
-
- MS and others (Petzold) warn to use the large memory model. On the other
- hand I read that using the large memory model will make your
- code more easily portable to Windows NT.
-
- What I heard so far about the disadvantages of the large memory model
- is not enough to stop me to try it.
-
- We do not need multiple instances of our application and do not
- have to support Windows 3.0. (not even Standard Modus)
-
- But on the other hand we want at least part of our application (the
- non-GUI part) to be easily portable to other platforms, and the
- whole application to be easily portable to Windows NT.
-
- Have I missed certain important considerations about the large memory
- model? Do you know of any literature that is more encouraging about
- using the large memory model and explains more about it?
-
- Thank you
- Stefan
