Problems allocating 300k data structure using Turbo C

[Mike Percy]

Try     
POINT huge *p;
 
p = farmalloc(300000UL);
if(!p) /* error ... */ 
     
for(long i = 0; i < 300000L; p[i++] = 0);
 
/* the above might not work, the [] operator may take only ints, I can't
remember. If so, the following should work */

for(long i = 0; i < 300000L; *(p + i++) = 0);
 
You can use any model except the tiny model.

Check out the section on pointer arithmetic in the Programmer's Guide
(p. 57 in my copy).
