TC++ 3.0 and your program doesn't use disk all the time the answer is that the DJGPP code is MUCH more fast. If your program uses disk (or BIOS in general) a lot you must redesign it. As with DJGPP you can use all the memory you can avoid a lot of disk access. I'm not to worried > about compilation speed, cause my progs are usually pretty small. OK, but I must warn you, DJGPP is slow in that, specially in small machines. I > have another question though: What are the advantages (if any) of > protected mode code? No 640Kb limit! Also, would DJGPP be more suitable for game > programming than TC++ 3.0? Again, thanks in advance:-) Ask to game programers. I think it's much more suitable.
