Pharlap sells the 286 extender (v3.xx) and TNT Extender (v7.0, the V8 come next April). Tnt Extender runs Well with Microsoft Compiler v9.00 (this of VISUAL 2.0), but you have to pay royalties with each programm you sell with it. In the utilities, you get a Run Time Kit who adds about 400k on your .EXE file, then you have an MS-DOS 32 Bits application. Very good if you don't need much about IRQ (Here, it besomes difficult). It can run with Borland and Watcom Compiler, but I didn't test them. Play attention that other Extender (royalty free) run in 286 protected mode (16 Mo limit, and not really faster that Real mode. Last but not least, With Microsoft Compiler, you have only a FLAT memory model, so you cannot protect a buffer in your program without defining in assembly langage your own selector (ES). In 286 mode, you have a better protection between the datas of your programms.
