No. I have a couple of other programs that use it to access extended RAM. One sorts a database and makes its' index file. Trouble is, the database is getting so large, I have to transfer it to a slower running computer with 32MB RAM because this one, with 20MB, won't do the job anymore. I think it was initially made so that, as DOS games got larger, they wouldn't be restricted to the 640k boundry. ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5a* Origin: BBS Networks {at} www.bbsnets.com 808-839-6036 (1:10/345) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 10/345 106/1 2000 633/267 |
