Thanks for testing.

Works well on 8088 here:

If someone is interested, I managed to replace all turbo c library functions with bios/dos int calls, (all file related functions...

Thanks for testing. I just want to make my game engine library (and the final exe) as small as possible, by being independent of any...

When I was using that call for memory allocation, I simply wrote my own version of the C near memory management functions (handled in...

I managed to create a minimal sample which replicated the problems of my program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include...

I surely forgot to add a "far" somewhere in my code, your sample works well :)

hmmm that does not sound correct at all. I do it all the time with watcomc. its been a long time since I used turboc, but should not...

Thanks for the info, I tested that and it does not solve the problem. Reading some old posts about using this dos int, I found why it...

Thanks. I only need conventional memory, and not a lot of it, (around 192K + program code + variables), this is a program for 8088 cpus.

Well this function causes a lot of trouble, I looked at the turbo c malloc source, and it is a huge piece of code which does not use...

Thanks, I'm using all bios/dos functions so I don't have to use libraries (from turbo c at the moment)

Segments are 16 bytes in real mode. So 1C18:0000 is the same address as 1000:C180. However it's probably easier to use offset 0 so you...

Thanks, I understand now. My code was working because the program was doing nothing else.

I tried using my own simple malloc by calling this bios function. Again in MS-DOS real mode. This bios function returns a 16 bit number...
