- Hello,
- I have a simular question, Are there any UNITS or Functions out there
- that will allow me to almost transparently use eXtended Memory for data storage.
- I have a program that will be using TurboPascal's TVision and a linked list.
- The linked-list could become quite big and I almost *KNOw* that I'm gona need
- much more than 640K of free ram to complete this project. Does ANYONE know of
- a PD or simular unit for TP6.0 that will append my Himem.SYS XMS memory to the
- heap? Has the Ever been done? BTW: I'm using the NEW() function in TP6.0, that
- is why I need it added to the heap, Correct? If no unit, does someone
- know of a list of the XMS function INTterrupts so that I can "make" one?
-
-
- Many, Many, thanks!
- John
