Hi, I've got two questions : 1. Can i convince TP6 to look for it's files in a directory other than it's startup directory? I am trying to load TP6 from a certain directory, and convince it to look for TURBO.HLP and TURBO.TPL in a different directory. Append won't work since it's a Novell network i am talking about. 2. I have at home a 286 machine with 1MB. when i am runnig TP6 on it, i get about 170K left for my program. This is not enough to compile TVDEMO.PAS for example. I do not have expanded memory, only extended. Is there anyway to have more memory available for compilation? i'd rather stick to the IDE and not switch to TPC if possible. TP6 occupy 300K in memory... Thanx, -- Yaniv Golan s2942275@techst02.technion.ac.il

You can place all directories that the IDE should look for files (your .HLP etc.). >2. I have at home a 286 machine with 1MB. when i am runnig TP6 on it, i get > about 170K left for my program.

To compile any TVisions file you will have this problem. They are huge. What you want the IDE to do is compile and execute from disk instaed of memory. Again, go to the OPTIONS menu and choose compiler options. You'll see it. >Thanx, > >-- >Yaniv Golan >s2942275@techst02.technion.ac.il You're welcome. -- Jon Bonnell "Like I always say -- jbb@mvaxcs1.cse.nau.edu Why Jack off when you can jack in?"

Minor correction: the compile destination is part of the Compile menu, not the Options menu. Another good idea is to go to the Options Linker menu and set the link buffer to disk; this will slow things down a bit, but lets you link bigger programs. Duncan Murdoch dmurdoch@watstat.waterloo.edu
