I used their esql/c to create a couple of simple functions in a new sperform and It won't even run from the isql menu system. Not enough memory due to the size too big. I have 4 Meg RAM and have tried EMM.SYS,HIMEM.SYS,386MAX.SYS, QEMM.SYS with low mem and high mem. I have tried pstartsql & startsql. The size of sperform.exe before adding these 2 simple functions and after: before after sperform.exe 7284 bytes 196,816 (newperf.exe) Has anyone else overcome this size of file too big problem? Also, has anyone been successful in using Borland C++ rather than microsoft C?
