I have recently been granted access to an IBM 386 clone with
a ton o memory.  I also have access to Lahey and Microsoft
PC-AT Fortran compilers.  My desire is to port some code that I have
running on workstations to the PC.  I know the compilers will work
on the PC if I stay under the 640K limit.  What I want to know is
if there is any way I can have access to all the memory above 640K
while still using my older compilers.  I have seen some compilers that
run specifically on the 386 with a DOS extender so I am wondering if
a DOS extender is all I need?   Thanks a bunch.
