16-Bit HX Extender (DOSX) |
I am using Borland C++ 3.1 and compiling and linking within the integrated environment. Could anyone tell me what changes are required in my project file to use the HX Extender. In addition what changes in my CONFIG.SYS and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT files might be required. |

I can't, but there is a sample supplied in HXDEV16.ZIP for Borland C++ (I guess it was BC 4.0), sample2b.mak. It is a simple NMAKE Makefile, not an IDE "project" file, and I'm not sure if it will work with Borland's MAKE utility. ---

That make file includes the library file DPMI16.LIB that I have not been able to find and then how would I launch my application so that the extender is used. |

Yes. dpmi16.lib is included in Borland's "Powerpack for DOS", which, according to the documentation, requires BC 4.02 or later.

the binary is linked as a 16-bit NE file and the MZ stub does all things necessary to initialize the extender. So there is nothing special to do to launch the application. ---

Thanks. I'm using Borland 3.1, I might have to upgrade to 4.02. |
