-Sorry about the first (no subject) message...I though this one would be a little more clear when scanning thru the subject list. Currently, I'm using an IBM clone with 8 meg of extended memory to do some statistical analysis for some (boring) classes...I decided to try to use a big sample size, but naturally ran into a problem with making my arrays larger than allowed than the Turbo C++ 1.0 compiler I'm using. I tried to use the command _OvrInitEms and _OvrInitExt given in the library reference manuals, but I couldn't get either of them to work. So, two things: 1) Are there any books out there that are specifically aimed at programming in C/C++ that deal with using this memory? 2) Are the library functions given in the Borland manuals not the thing to use? Are there better PD libraries to use? etc. Notes: I am a decent programmer, but it is not my true vocation it seems. I am competent in programming in T-C++ for an IBM, but that's about the limit of it. I _am_ pretty good at this little niche, however. I am crossposting this to a few groups, so take note. The post is to rec.games.programmer thanks to a note I read about a PBM game that had four million planets in it. I figured that equaled either an incredible amount of disk access (that I would like to avoid) or some hefty memory use... Thanks, Matt -- Matt Bakaitis mxb8@po.cwru.edu
