I started trying to learn assembly language this weekend, since I recently purchased TC++ pro pack, and ran into a few quirks or problems that I thought somebody might be able to help me out with. First of all, whenever I get into Turbo Debugger, either with TD or TD386 [I have a 386sx], the Get Info selection on the file menu reports that the program I am debugging is using all of the available memory. I was trying to debug a simple assembly language program that ran fine, I was just stepping through it and watching the stack and cpu registers and how different instructions affected them and I did something and it said not enough memory. So I check the get info and it said my program was taking up 251K. So I thought maybe I declared something wrong in my assembly program, so I tried both a simple pascal program and a simple c program, and both of these also used up all of the memory. I this a bug or a feature??? I have 1 meg extended memory. Also, whenever I get into TC++, right when I push the TAB key, a star pops up in the bottom left hand corner of the border of the window I am working on. It doesn't seem to have affected my programs, but it is annoying and obviously something must be wrong or it wouldn't be happening. Thanks for your help, Chris Edgington

The star is simply a reminder that the file in that window has been modified, and that the version in memory is now different than the corresponding version on disk. If the star annoys you, the obvious solution would be to save your file. Of course it will reappear the moment you make any changes... Hope this helps! Derek Riippa Foster
