Does anyone know any tricks to let the BC++ heap see >extended memory? I believe what you need is some type of DOS extender. Although BC++ uses a DOS extender (TKERNAL) to access extended memory, that does not mean that you can in turn use the capability in your own applications. If you don't want to purchase a DOS extender, there are alternative techniques such as RAMdisks that can be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOTT BARNES INTERNET: sba8_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu University of Rochester BITNET : sba8_ltd@uordbv GEnie : S.BARNES2 C-serve : 72510,1553
