Qbasics for Windows
#9
Opresion:

You report that you managed to create a 3-dimension array(x,x,x), with a maximum value of x of 24 (36 using /ah), while in PDS.  But, for strings, the maximum value of x$ was 21, whether using or not using the /ah switch.  Interestingly, bt understandable, your results indicate that the /ah switch applies only to numeric arrays.

Also, as you have confirmed, QuickBASIC 7.1 (PDS), cannot produce, by itself, 3-dimensioned arrays with more than some 25^3 = 15625 elements (15625*4 = 62,500 bytes) without using /ah, and some 36^3 = 46656 elements (186,624 bytes) using /ah.  Please note that I was able to obtain exactly that number of elements and bytes with 6 arrays, each with an x of 24, or 24^3*6 = 82944 elements = 186,624 bytes. This corresponds, very nearly, to the available memory in the 640K allotted to QuickBASIC programs. 

So, we seem to be butting our heads on the memory available to QuickBASIC 4.5 and PDS.  I still believe we need to link our QB program to another program, that allows using far memory, as I used long ago.

What do you think about the above?  Where can we find such a program to allow using far memory?
