When reading the following questions, please keep in mind that I am a
beginner C user -- an addicted C user, but still a beginner...
I am using Borland's Turbo C on a 640K, 2-floppy IBM PC with DOS 2.1.
1) When copying the command-line version, TCC, and everything needed from the
third disk to use it onto a floppy disk, I couldn't fit the last few .H files
that the User's Guide told me to copy. I formatted the disk with format b:/v
command, so it had the whole disk to work with. Anyone else have this
problem? Suggestions?
(Note: I even used the small model library, I -really- wonder how I would
copy all the huge model libraries.)
2) When trying out a few beginner programs (i.e. Hello World, Fahrenheit to
Celsius, etc.), I noticed how incredibly huge such seemingly miniscule
programs took up in the .exe form! The Fahrenheit conversion one was about
10 lines long and about 19K on disk!!! Is this normal??
Alas, I am only a novice...
