   I know it's been mentioned before, but I haven't seen anyone suggest a solution.
   Turbo C++ grabs the extended memory but doesn't free it when you exit (the IDE).
   Is there a fix for this, or at least a workaround?  I hate having to reboot my
   system every time I get out of TC++!

Well, I got around this by configuring
my XMS memory to be EMS via a little
program called EMS40.SYS (available
from simtel).  EMS40.SYS is driver which
handles EMS function calls, but uses XMS
memory. I haven't found anything yet which
version 1.1 won't handle.  I believe its
a PC Mag utility, BTW. If you can't get
it from simtel/wuarchive, check out the
local BBSs.
