From Ted Holden at HTE:
I'm posting this rather than replying to individual mail
queries; news seems to work a good deal better from the IMS
site than mail does. Sorry.
The 180K claimed by Zortech as memory requirements may be a
best case scenario; I've had it blow for memory with more
than that. Nonetheless, I get good compiles of a large
model pool game experiment using my Turbo-C metagraphics
library rather than Zortech's Flash-Graphics and a class of
billiard balls defined, with memory cut down around 320K by
loading every TSR on the system. Not bad, considering the
competition i.e. C++ pre-compilers which need around 600K
or, God forbid, Alsys's Ada compiler which comes with it's
own LIM board for about $3300 more than Zortech's C++.
All I know about cout not working on ITs and Zenith
248's is what I saw. That project is finished but, next
time I'm around those kinds of computers, I'll attempt to
investigate further.
