Re: [Dev-C++] How to increase space for defining arrays

[John M. <joh...@co...>]

Thanks all.  I figure memory is memory, but I'll try allocating the 
space with malloc.
 From some of the noise I've read on the web, I thought there was 
some adjustment
that could be made to some configuration item, that would allow 
larger size arrays to
be declared with minGW.
