Just as long as your application }is using the BGIs you distribute... Contrast that with the "free" DOS extender included with BC++ 3.1, which I just got yesterday evening. If I understand the license correctly, you have to buy PharLap's full system for $495 if you actually want to give away executables. Sounds like a pretty good reason to jump ship to Zortech--the entire compiler plus royalty-free DOS extender costs less than half that much on a competitive upgrade.... ARE YOU LISTENING BORLAND? What we want is a full-featured royalty-free DOS extender, not a crippled one that we can't even include in the programs we give away. (I say crippled because 286|DOS-Extender Lite is intentionally limited to 2 megs of memory and has a number of other features such as spawning disabled) -- Internet: RALF+@CS.CMU.EDU |The University would disclaim this if it knew...
