- Turbo C++ Library for
- Accessing Extended Memory Using
- Microsoft's HIMEM.SYS
- by Richard Vuduc
- (C) 1990
- -------------------------------
-
- Well, I'm glad to see you followed directions and are now
- 'reading.me'. Here's a list of files included in this package
- (XMSCPP.ZIP):
-
- - XMSCPP.LIB // Turbo C++ linkable routines for accessing
- extended memory.
- - XMS.H // Turbo C++ XMS header file
- - README.TXT // That would be this file
- - XMSCPP.TXT // Documentation on how to use the library
- - XMSDEMO.CPP // Library demonstration program source code
- - XMSDEMO.EXE // Library demonstration executable
-
- Hardware and Software Requirements:
- -----------------------------------
- You need a 286 or above IBM AT compatible, enough conventional memory
- to run the Turbo C++ compiler, and 64k of extended memory to run the
- demonstration program.
-
- You also need to install HIMEM.SYS. I haven't worked out any
- distribution agreements with Microsoft, but you can get it from them
- in HIMEM.ARC on MSSYS on CompuServe. HIMEM is also bundled with
- Microsoft Windows 286 and MS Windows 3.0 (I don't know about Windows
- 386, but I imagine it's in there, too).
-
- Usage:
- ------
- This library was designed to run in the small memory model - I will
- release the other models soon (I've got to do some back to school
- shopping and also work, so time is kind of tight). You can reach me
- about any technical problems or any comments on improvements at my
- CIS Account: Richard Vuduc, 70022,1332.
-
- To link this with your programs, just type:
- 'tcc xxxxx.cpp xmscpp.lib'
-
- where xxxxx.cpp is the name of your source. So, to compile the
- demonstration program, just type:
- 'tcc xmsdemo.cpp xmscpp.lib'
-
- You can also link xmscpp.lib into the standard library. See the
- manual for details.
