A few months ago, I posted a problem I was having with Microsoft C and expanded memory. In short - I was using an IBM PS/2 model 60 with expanded memory and when I wanted to use expanded memory and codeview via the "cv /E progname" I was getting "EMM software error" and was getting bounced out of the program. Microsoft didn't know the answer and at first was claiming this wasn't even their error message - it was because I found it in their book. Finally, I found the solution. The answer is in how expanded memory is configured on your machine. For codeview to work with expanded memory, the expanded memory must be CONTIGUOUS expanded memory. I got out my reference disk and fiddled with the addresses, so that my expanded memory would be in contiguous space and it worked! And by the way, all the other stuff that used the old addresses(since I was fiddling with addresses) works also! Now I can just hear some of you more advanced people saying "But of course!". Before you jump to say this, keep in mind that I got a lot of E mail from people saying "I had the same problem and I never *did* figure it out!" Happy Computer! Ilene K. Johnson ijohnson@udenva
