The question I'm about to ask pertains to the DJGPP/DOS platform, tho it may apply to other platforms if present. How can I access mroe than 8MB while keeping compatible with the GPC Pointer type? I ask because I tried allocating >8MB and I got a runtime error saying that GPC is out of heap space. I know there are DPMI functions, but which one can allocate >8MB while still maintaining the near pointer type? Thanks in advance! See ya!
