Having spent all my life writing C code on mainframes, I always thought memory management was done by the gods. Sadly, I was tossed out into the real world and now program a 386. I use Microsoft's C compiler (Ver 6.0). At first things seemed normal, then out of the blue, came the sobering realization that mortals like me, might in fact be responsible for memory management. What I am looking for is a good book or two that deals with : 1) Segments: who makes and how to use em. 2) Calls like _loadds & _segname. 3) Anything that deals with making a large programs run on a 386 using the Microsoft C compiler. Any suggestions? If any of you know something about the above, I would more than appreciate a mail from you, explaining it. Thanks in advance. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ (__) =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= | In Cows we Trust!!!!
