- I am trying to get people's opinions on what is the best protected mode,
- that is for user programs, C and preferably C++ compiler on the market.
- I have heard good things about Watcom C and a few others. Please email
- any comments you may have on this subject.
-
- Some Background.
- I, together with a small team of programmers, artists and musicians are in the
- process of writing an arcade game. This is to be not just any ordinary arcade
- game but an experimental Super VGA arcade game written specifically for the
- Linear addressing mode of the ET4000 chipset (by the way, if anyone can tell me
- how best to remap this memory then please mail me.). Anyway, we are going to
- be programming for large amounts of memory hence we wish to use protected mode.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
