[net.micro.hp] Can Microsoft software use more than 64K

fjames@aluxp.UUCP (JAMES) (03/24/84)

    I have the Series 100/Basic interpreter for the HP150.
I understand this basic is produced by Microsoft.
And I also understand that non of the Microsoft software
supports memory above 64K.  This will also apply to, if my
understanding is correct, the  Basic compiler, and the 
Pascal and Fortran compilers, made by Microsoft, that
are also available for this machine. 
    Is Microsoft also listening?  Is there a way around this?
Remember that unlike the IBM PCs, all the HP150s come with
256K memory.  (The additional 192K is used for some of the
other software, like VisiCal and Lotus 1-2-3, I am told,
but is not used in any of the Microsoft stuff.)
