Ok, last night I read Petzolds book, chap 7, on memory allocation. He said don't this far char a[10000] because it would use another data segment and it may get moved on you causing problems or wouldn't get moved causing windows problems. Then, near the end of the chapter he talks about how you don't have to be so careful when running in protected mode. Now, the protected mode is either standard or enhanced mode, right? Can I do this in protected mode? Is this a bad idea? Since I'm using BC++ real mode really isn't an option. I'm asking all of this because I would like to write a quick and dirty replacement for stdio to use windows so that I can recompile some dos/unix c programs and run them under windows. I know it won't be pretty, but in TPW you replace the CRT unit with WINCRT and you don't have to do anything else to make you dos turbo pascal application run under windows. From my point of view it's like getting an x-term window under X.
