- Can someone explain to me how to access memory beyond the 640k
- barrier imposed by DOS. Some documentation that recently crossed
- my eyes led me to believe that this s was in fact possible, but my
- microsoft C compiler seems to stop short of the 720k I require.
- I am running on a 486 based machine with 8 megs and DOS 5, and am
- primarily interested in allocating memory for rapid storage of
- image data.
-
- As a newcomer to the PC programming world, any help would be much
- appreciated.
