I'm thinking about buying Mix Power C (since it is cheap) in order to port a small, fast implementation of Usenet news from the Atari ST to the PC. One potential problem is that rnews sucks an entire article into one big mallocked array of char before massaging it. I would prefer not to have to worry about dropping items on the floor because they exceeded some mysterious (to me, anyway) PC limitation of pointer access and/or memory allocation. I'm used to one nice, big, flat address space. Am I going to run into problems with Power C in this regard? Please reply via e-mail. This newsgroup doesn't exist at thelake. Thanks. -- Steve Yelvington at the lake in Minnesota (Ah, summer... leech season...)
