- I understand that there is a Pascal compliler that is source compatible
- with Turbo Pascal, but allows for arbitrarily large data elements
- (arrays, or whatever), limited only by the amount of memory in the machine,
- including extended memory.
-
- Does anyone know how this is implemented? In this system, would
- a large array (>64KBytes) neccesarilly by contiguous or are they broken up into
- <64KByte chunks?
