I am new to Windows programming, but I have a notion that Windows might
solve my present problems running under DOS. The problems are
effectively not enough memory, and I'm trying to find out this
information rather than going out and buying the SDK to find out it
doesn't do the job. If any of you can help with these questions, I'd be
very grateful.
1) An application (in C) I'm compiling needs more than 640k. Does the
640k restriction apply to windows applications. If no, then presumably
I could specify a windows envelope for the program, and then run it
under windows virtually in it's present form. Is this correct?
2) Is it possible for an application running in a DOS box to make DDE
calls to other windows applications.
2a) Is it possible for a windows program running in full screen mode to
make DDE calls.
3) Are pipes supported under Windows SDK?
Thanks in advance,
Olly Morgan
