Could anyone tell me how I can make use of memory outside the 64 K limit in Turbo? I'm using a model 80 with 3 meg of RAM and I'd like to be able to assign a large pointer array to use the extra memory segment(s). Any hints or suggestions are welcome. -David dg1v@andrew.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon Univ.

There is alt leaste 1 package on the market that will allow you to do this. The Package I'm refering to is Turbo Professional by Turbo Power Software I think Blaise Power Tools also supports Extended Memory (EMS). I Have Turbo Professional and must say, It's EXCELLENT!!! It has a bunch of other things to, but as for the extended memory, Turbo Professional will let you access it kinkd of like a Big array of referenced by a pointer. It has a fuction called 'GetExtMem' that you can use just like GetMem with the exception that you must allocate your data in 1k blocks. Another hit for Turbo Power, they have an EXCELLENT source level symbolic debugger for Turbo 4.0 for $65.00... Anyway, I have been using Turbo Professional for about 6 months now and couldn't get along with out it. The people there are very knowledeable and very willing to help (actual programmers...) This package costs $99.00 and you get full source code (very well documented). One thing nice here is that they offer replacement (faster) for most of the standard Turbo Units, like Crt.Tpu and you have the source for these...
