Opresion, here's somethig found on the Internet:
So, it would seem that your PDS should be able to put strings in far memory. Perhaps you can use that property to convert a proposed large array into smaller string arrays that you can store in far memory? What do you think? I am goingto download PDS and start playing around with it.
As to the program that I used, back in 1987, I remember that in a FOR/NEXT loop, I had to use a transformation of each element of the array I was using before it could be stored in far memory. I just don't remember the syntax nor the name of the ausiliary program!Â
Quote:The big advantage of the PDS over QuickBasic 4.5 is that it has an option to put strings into FAR memory (outside the 64K data segment). This frees up a lot more memory for simple variables and allows you to build much bigger programs.
