one. i'm just trying to grab people's SIMM chuckouts at the moment so
i've got a bit more RAM and also and an internal harddisk. I think i do
have an MMU. It's the Blizzard 1230 mk. IV which i'm pretty sure has
one, although i've never tried any virtual memory stuff really.
trying and sorting it all out. I thought it looked a bit much for what i
was trying to solve.

bothered about backwards compatibility. i just want to get it working
first :o). I've been programming in some form since i was about 8 on my
spectrum's BASIC. i have about 10/20 half finished programs which i've
given up on at some point in the last ten years, and have only recently
moved into C++ from Blitz BASIC and Java at uni. I never have any
problems with my uni work, but trying to get something i've written into
the public domain has always proved a problem due to frustration at
unfindable bugs. I'm currently attempting to transfer a Graphic
Adventure engine that i programmed in Blitz Basic last summer, into C++.
As well as the fact that i now much prefer the C/C++/Java
object-oriented style, i want to then write a graphics interface for a
PC (at some point).
i've really been learning from is the old RKMs on the Amiga Developers
CD 2.1, so thank you very much for your time :o).
enforcer many times, but whenever i read the overview of it, i don't
bother installing it. It says that it just checks for illegal memory
allocations. When I run the program from within StormC, i get a load of
error messages there about that anyway.
thanks ever so much
bill
