- Hello everyone!
-
- I have programmed for DOS for a fairly long time but recently I ran
- into memory management difficulties.
-
- My program requires a lot of memory for dynamic data (eg. a 1.2 MB
- contiguous block) and thus needs to access extended memory. However, since I
- am only producing a prototype to show concepts, I do not wish to get entangled
- in Windows programming. In other words, it would be best if I could just program
- as per normal as possible, with much of the work of managing the extended memory
- done by the compiler or some DOS extender. I am running DOS 3.3.
-
- I would appreciate it very much if anyone can supply helpful tips to
- satisfying the above requirements, and/or answers to the questions below:
-
-
- (i) Does anyone know if Borland C++ or Zortech C++ allows one to write
- and compile DOS programs that automatically use extended memory if
- necessary? What work must be done by the programmer, if any, to manage the
- extended memory? Is the extra work required so much that a switch to the
- Windows environment would be more productive instead?
-
- (ii) Any other C language products that come with extended memory management
- facilities?
-
-
- Please email replies to kaykit@iti.gov.sg. Thanks in advance!
