link main+video,,,user32+kernel32/noi;


C:\DosProject>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

whats weird is this code is coming from straight from an 
example(chapter 2, page 26) from the book Tricks of The Game 
Programming Guru which is a book for programming dos games and is 
very highly revered. Judging from the user32 & kernal32 i'm 
guessing it's trying to make a win32. I already installed the Dos 
16 add on, how do i force dm to compile a dos 16 true mode app? 
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

If you have the full DM C++ package including the IDE, there's a 
tutorial online.

The important parameter for the command-line compiler is the 
memory model setting. To make a simple program that can use up to 
640K of DOS memory, use "-mld" as a command-line parameter.
