Hi,

Iam currently programming my first game in c using DJGPP and RHIDE.

The graphics library iam using is Allegro.

The problem is my exe size for the game is now 790k and its about 400k when i
use the -s ( i think its -s!! :- ))  . BUT when i run the game it has trouble
loading in some of the bitmaps! And then crashes as well sometimes.

Is there a limit to the exe size - i heard its 640k but can i go other that
limit and could someone please explain to me how to do that - some one told me
to use real/protected dos mode but i know nothing about that !

Please Help!
Thanks in advance,
Rakz007
