#3923 RE: lostcowboy #3921

Good Grief, you caused my stack to overflow :o)

Where is my frame pointer?
Did i do enough Saves?

ok,
I'am using DOS 5.0 Windows 3.1
with no updates added, and no patches applied.
Only thing added to Windows was that Win32s directory
placed inside the System direction to allow me to run
some of the 32 bit programs. Oops, but this DOS browser
is run not from Windows... ok, fall back & regroup i must :o)
ok,
Let me first test out if the DOS browser uses expanded memory,
and if so, will it use my extended via the EMM386.EXE
and i'am thinking that this browser needs a lot more memory to run
than whats available in that small conventional memory to a point
that even if it had it all it would not be enough, and i'am thinking
that this point was made years ago and somehow got lose in the
intro/doc to this browser since it was already knowned.
also,
I'am still thinking EMM386.EXE RAM NOEMS
with both the ram and noems arguments are not used together,
but it seems i'am wrong here and need to reread the manual page.
ok,
I'll try and do the expanded memory trial tonight and report back.

a Good Grief + Stack Overflow = my Oopsie

Message In Reply To The Confusion I Caused:
"Good Grief, you caused my stack to overflow..."

lostcowboy,

My misleading bad in that i meant "my brain stack overflowed."

Not that i made changes based on your post, and my pc hic-up'ed.

No, it was just that you gave extra extra information.

I forget who or whom mangaes this board, but could you(s)
let us all know how many people have this board Bookmarked,
as even here while i didn't use all that info, i'am sure enough folks
read this board such that the extra times two info was useful & used.

(extra extra) BobZ understood my post since he know Assembly
Language programming and stacks, frame pointer and Save.
But not Sheriff Matt since he doesn't know REAL HARD programming
skills like Assembly and C and C++ (OOP) :o):o)P that puts hair
on a boy's chest to make him a man. Rumor has it Matt super glued
one of Bob's used toupee onto his chest.
