[Dev-C++] Memory!

[<ste...@ge...>]

Hi there!

Can someone please help me? I'm working with DOS, and I'm using Turbo =
C++ 3.0. I really would like some acces to more memory than 640K! I'm =
almost sure that it's possible, I just don't know how!

Thanks! :)

i would say by right clicking your prog and telling dos to give it more =
or just dont build in dos (another prog. might say better im a newbie to =
programming)

I don't remind if TurboC++ 3.0 does have support for DPMI , if not maybe =
you could use borland rtm.exe to allow your programas acces to more =
memory but it will give you lots of problems on newer operating systems. =
It will be better to switch to Dev C++ or another compiler for 32 bits =
windows operating systems, also turbo c++ is known to=20

I have an idea. Use Dev-C++. :)

I saw you mentioned DOS. If you are not working in a Windows environment use
DJGPP, modern C/C++ IDE for DOS. It creates 32-bit DOS applications.

For a link to djgpp get a look at my links page:

In the old days PC's had three types of memory. Conventional memory,
expanded memory and extended memory. Turbo C 3.0 has only support for
conventional memory, but may be programmed to use expanded memory.
I strongly advice to use DJGPP with RHIDE, this gives you (almost) the
exact same interface as Turbo C did. Only difference: DJGPP handles
memory for you.

Technical intermezzo about expanded memory: Uses memory above 1Mb by
mapping chunks of this memory to a frame below the 1 MB border. Hence,
only 16 kB (or 64 kb) of this expanded memory was available at any one
time. By swapping these blocks it was possible to use all of the
expanded memory.

If you have other reasons for sticking to TURBO C: search for a piece of
code to deal with expanded memory. You may start searching at
