I am a newbie to the concept of programming for DPMI. I am doing a DOS program where I need more than the 640 KB of ram I have access to. I am compiling my program using the DJGPP compiler. Do I have to go through any other hoops to be able to use more than the 640 KB of ram? Or will DJGPP just somehow provide access to the rest of the memory? In other words, Is there any special code I have to write in order to use the extra memory at runtime? Or will DJGPP take care of this for me at compile time? Sorry if this is a primitive question. I've never had to do this sort of thing until now. Thanks! John
