RE: [Dev-C++] Problem with compiler

[Santiago P. C. <San...@yd...>]

You must have in mind that this is an OS-related issue, not a programming=

one.

Current OSes can actually execute programs from floppy disks, CD-ROMs, ha=
rd
disks, MO disks, network filesystems, etc... Once the appropriate
filesystem-driver has been loaded there's no difference between them for =
the
applications running on top of the OS, only the attributes you set for th=
em
(read-only, permissions, etc...), but this is NOT (once again) a limitati=
on
from the filesystem.

What you cannot do is to store more than 1.44 Mb into one floppy disk... =
and
this is a phiical/real limit for many programs because of its SIZE, but n=
ot
for their execution-possibility.

Another issues are about performance and access time to CD-ROMs and flopp=
y
disks, etc... But NEVER to the possibility of execution.

~Santy

Not in "win32 programming " by Rector.
It says something like "one of the achievements of CD-ROM is now you can =
run
a program from it, since it can now do [something about memory] it couldn=
't
be done in floppy disks"
