Hello world. Does anybody have any clue as to the ability of Microport V/AT to run executables with memory models other than large or small? /usr/include/sys/proc.h hints that it might with #defines for medium and huge memory models, but the compilers wont support them. I'm particularly interested to know of any third party compilers that might, for fortran and C. I have some linear programming stuff that would like to know about arrays larger than 64k, and CTeX, which is also desirous of plenty of space. The version of hack I have works quite happily in medium memory model on SCO, but not on large. Blecch Ptui.

I saw a version of uport 2 years ago (a friend of mine actually bought it) and the documentation explained the huge model but the compiler didn't support it _yet_. I guess that if they didn't get around to implementing it in these 2 years you can just as well forget it. #endif Go with SCO. Their compiler supports the huge model since more than 2 years, though it didn't work very well in pre 2.2 releases...
