Hi all, First, sorry for asking this question in more than one group, it's a little urgent and I don't know which forum is the best for this kind of questions. I'm using Borland Builder 4.0 (yes, it's kind of old but I like it very much!!) on Windows-XP computer that have 1.0 GB of RAM, and for an application that I'm trying to write, I need to use LOT LOT of memory, I need to use huge Float and Int arrays, for example let's say (I'm not sure exactly about the exact size that I'll need) - float HugeFloatArray[752538742]; int HugeIntArray[475538742]; . . . . HugeFloatArray[35] = 28.725; HugeIntArray[43735] = 1082; . . . . But when I try it, I'm getting all kind of strange error messages like - "[Linker Error] Fatal: Error detected (LME1398)." Then what is the best (and most easiest !!) way to define HUGE arrays in the memory? I guess that becouse my PC have only 1.0 GB of RAM memory the application will actually have to use lot of read/write to the hard disk which will be used as part of the memory....... I guess that it will make my application run much slower :-( , also my application will have to do lot of read/write to this arrays, is it a problem? becouse I know that there is a limit to the number of times that you can read and write to the hard disk..... I don't want to ruin my PC...... So what is the best solution for this? Can someone please show me a clean piece of code that I can do copy- paste and check it right away without having to search more about it in the internet/google ? Thanks very much! ( By the way, if someone remember, some years ago I used to read the "Borland Builder newsgroups" in an "old fation" web base site, not through google, you could send there messages without any registration, and without having to use the Internet Explorer to read and write messages, I remember someone by the name Remy that was a 'TeamB' and used to answer lot of questions and help.... is there still access to this old pages? I can't find it in google.) Hope for some good answers. Thanks very much! John.
