We're developing a LARGE application under Windows 3.00. Every once in a while we run into the 64K data segment limit, and have to find a way to crunch our segment down again (This is under the Medium model). Our questions invlove what we can get away with undet Windows 3.00 protected mode. We aren't using Large model because that has to reference FAR pointers. We discussed using LARGE before (in 2.11), but didn't want to go that way becuase that locks all the library functions in place (they can't be re-located). Under protected mode will we be able to use LARGE model, and just not care that the libraries can't be moved, because we can access 16MB of memory? What exactly will protected mode give us that real mode can't, except for being able to access 16MB of RAM? I don't see how it would be of much use if we still have a data segment that's only 64K long (for stack, heap, and our data).
