Hi,
   I am a psychologist doing a masters degree in Artificial Intelligence and
Im about to start my dissertation, a tutor for logo. I've used djgpp in the
past for smaller projects but I'm no techie so if you could help in not too
technical fashio I'd be very grateful.
  My problems are these :
1) I,m a bit worried about running out of environment space - is there
anything I can do to increase it ?
2) What is this dpmi stuff ? I,m running djgpp on a 486 and I've seen DPMIcome
up whilst I've been running other things but what will it do and would it be
useful to include it ?
3) I want to have a graphics window and a text window on the screen at the
same time - can I do this ? If so, which libraries do I need. I,ve used the
basic graphics library before, but libgrx looks a bit complicated for me. I,ve
read the manual but I,m a bit lost on all the arguments to the procedures.
4) I want to run sounds off my soundcard thru djgpp. I presume I can do this
by calling DOS from djgpp and asking it to play a soundfile ?

If you can help just answering one of these I'd be really greatful.
Cheers,
Mat.
