I've developed a C program on unix (Sun SPARC 1) that I need to port to DOS. The problem is that this program allocates large structures, and the total memory requirements exceed 1Mb at times. Is there any way that I can get over the 640Kb limit of DOS without altering my code too much? I don't have much experience with the PC, so I'd like to avoid a lot of hacking if possible. I read an ad. in the BYTE magazine for something called the "DOS extender" which claims to get over the 640Kb limit. Has anyone used this software? In terms of ease of use, applicability etc., is it worth the $1000 or so they are asking for it? Thanks in advance Gautham. ______________________________________________________________ Gautham Kudva kudva@ecn.purdue.edu
