Quote:just a suggestion, you may consider FreeBASIC, which limits its arrays to um...Code:
dim myarray as integer( 0 to 2147483647 )
i am sure about that sooner or later i will need to switch to Freebasic, i am just waiting for the version 1.OO and a Dos editor.
Quote:The memory routines (I think you can download them from QBNZ) I wrote ages ago used directqb's ems peek/poke functions {...}
thank you, do you remember how many megabytes of Ems for arrays can be used?

Good luck with that

Technically they should be able to use the full amount of allocated ems memory. I haven't tested them in extreme cases though, and I wrote them a while ago now. If you do use them, I'm happy to try and help with any problems you hit, although as others have pointed out, this may be a good time to move to FreeBasic which doesn't have such restrictive limits on data size.
Oh, cool! Due to the bizarre setup on my new laptop, I haven't been able to use EMS memory in Win98 - will this work for that?
Yes, it works with Windows 9x (and DOS) as well.
cool, man. I wonder if this will run Distant Promises.
