I just installed BC++. I tried to compile the windows hello world
example but it seemed to be taking a very long time so I broke out of
the compile. Then I remembered a discussion on this group a while back
about how much faster compiles run in protected mode.

Here's where I ran into a problem. Borland's instructions for running
BCX, the protected mode compiler, are to run tkernel, then bcx.
However, tkernel seems to clash with himem.sys and smartdrive.sys. If
these are installed, when I try to run bcx I get an error message
indicating tkernel requires 576K. I think himem.sys is giving all my
extended memory to smartdrive.sys.

Can anyone help? Is tkernel required when I have himem.sys?  My
hardware is Compudyne 16/386SX with 2 MB of memory.

Thanks in advance.
