i get a "Program too big" error on all programs compiled with the "PowerBASIC" compiler pbc.exe 3.00c
and similar out of memory errors on other dos programs, when running them under wine
to my pleasure the pbc compiler itself runs fine under wine
here is an example:
a hello world BASIC source
the binary compiled with pbc 3.00c under wine
same compiler
on every program compiled with a PowerBASIC compiler i get
"Program too big" when running it under wine. this string is given out by the executable when failing to allocate some memory
i tryed to disassemble the compiled program to check what type of memory allocation should have taken place, but my dos disassembler (sourcer) failed under wine with an out of memory error, too.
now is this a bug in wine, not handling some ms-dos memory allocation requests, or did i just miss some configuration option to tell wine to give dos programs more memory to allocate?
i hope this is not OT too much
Not if you intend to implement the missing functions or fix the bugs and are just asking for some help in that direction. Otherwise Bugzilla is the place for this http:\bugs.winehq.org

I found the string "Program too big" in test.exe at position 0000:2203 hex I guess its just given out after failing to allocate some memory ;) as i said my disassembler doesnt work doe to some similar error
What is your version of wine (wine -v)

Thats a couple of interupt handlers that want some attention.
