[net.micro.pc] Lattice "C" #include files - an answer

geller@rlgvax.UUCP (David Geller) (06/27/84)

A message by Paul McNabb from Purdue suggested that there might be a
relationship between the Lattice "C" compiler, the amount of user avail-
able memory, and the number of #include files that may be accessed. He
experienced problems when using less than 128K or RAM. This problem is
NOT directly related to the LATTICE COMPILER. Rather, this is related to
the number of file buffers that have been allocated by MS/PC-DOS
at boot-up time. You may change this number from within the CONFIG.SYS file.

It is entirely possible that with less then 128K the compiler is refused
permission to open a file FROM dos. More memory allows more files to
be opened at the same time (in the case of nesting). You have to take into
account the size of the program running within your user-space (the size
of the compiler), any buffers it may have allocated, DOS overhead, etc.
