I'm writing a program that does a lot of textfile processing. For
speed, I want to do most of it in RAM, allocating the biggest block
I can. I am compiling in the compact model (64k code, 1Mb data) and
chkdsk says I have 300k free. However, the following call to
farcoreleft says I only have about 61k free.
unsigned long memfree;
memfree = (unsigned long) farcoreleft();
printf ("Bytes free: %lu\n");
Can anyone tell me what's going on? Please email replies.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Rhysling
