It isn't part of the Norton package. The ngdump program I wrote was posted as volume 14, issue 44 in comp.sources.misc. Writing your own compiler/linker for this format should not be too hard since you can use the source of ngdump to find the .ng format. By the way, if you would like to reduce the amount of RAM needed for the NG program, check out swapdoc.arc and swpng152.arc on simtel; SWAPNG is a shell for NG that uses swapping to EMS or disk to reduce the size of the TSR to about 7Kb (!). -- Eelco van Asperen. || Erasmus University Rotterdam uucp: evas@cs.eur.nl || Department of Computer Science, room H5-1 no claims - no disclaimers || PObox 1738, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands
