Hi !
i ask this just out of couriosity,but hope there is an answewr nonetheless.
i've programmed quite a lot of numerical stuff using DJGPP and now i've 
switched to Linux - gcc and under linux i can allocate much more memory then 
with DJGPP under DOS -> why??
to make it clearer:
i declare e.g. 10 fields (doubles) with NP components.
in DJGPP thep program compiles without any warning, but i get a segmentation 
fault already if NP = 5000.
under Linux i let NP be 100000 and the program works fine [it just takes a lot 
of tim to run :-) ]
if it matters: i have a Pentiom 133 with 32 MB RAM.
thanks for any answers
greetings
