A friend without net access is having a problem using 
Borland C++ V3.0.  He wants to declare a very large
array of structures, and the compiler won't let him. 
He tried the various memory models with no luck.

He looked in the BC++ docs and also in "Using Borland 
C++ 3.0" by Que publications, and he did find one 
example showing how to access the XMS on his 386 by
calling the HIMEM.SYS driver functions.  This example
code didn't work, and he is stumped. 

Does anyone have any ideas or know of any good books?


Please reply with E-mail, I will summarize if 
there is interest.
