Has anyone tried the new 32 bit Zortech C++? For that manner, has anyone tried Zortech 2.1 or Turbo C++ on a serious project (>1000 lines of c++, not counting supplied headers)? Do they have problems with running out of memory?

I have one program (not related to Zortech) that is mostly C code but is slowly migrating to C++ that has modules that vary in size from 70 lines to 3400 lines. With a total number of lines of about 80000. A 780 line module gives me memory problems if I try and compile it with the 8088 version of the compiler (the 3400 line module doesn't). The protected mode versions of the compiler overcome this problem (assuming you have a 80286 or better). --- Zortech mailing list: send email to 'ztc-list-request@uunet.uu.net' with: Add: your-user-name@your-machine-name In the body of the message. --- Send Zortech bug reports to 'zortech-bugs@proto.com' Send requests for educational discounts to 'zortech-ed@proto.com' --- Zortech is my major source of income.

Well, I hate to post about this again, but I just found out that the present version of Zortech C++ (2.1) is not what I thought. I am looking for a C++ compiler (for the 80386) which _will_ compile code greater than 640k, without resorting to overlays. It also _MUST_ support virtual memory, the more the better. Apparently Zortech 2.1 does not do this. Does anyone know if v3.0 will? I would be very greatful for any information you could post to the net, or send to me. ---In the same vein, DJGpp, a public domain port of GNU C++ to 80386, does meet the above reuirements, it unfortunately has the usual "copyleft" requirements that go with Freedom Software Foundation, etc. Also the documentation is more than a bit sparse (I am told the FSF docs, which I don't have yet are quite good) All this is available on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu under a directory "djgcc" (somewhere, I don't remember the path...)
