From: Todd Wipke <Wipke@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> I am interested in knowing what the largest programs are that have been successfully run on the ibm-pc. It is sad to start a large project and find later that the lack of overlays, loader symbol table limitations, or other system limitations prevent completion of the project. If one is planning a large program on the IBM-PC, what operating system and what language is recommended? Can IBM/Microsoft Pascal cope with large overlaid programs? Appreciate advice and experiences. -------

Computer Innovations C86 (MS-DOS and CPM-86) can handle large programs with up to 1M RAM plus overlays. They advertise regularly in all the major coputer rags. -- Kenton Lee, Bell Labs wb3g!kfl or 5941ux!kfl
