file size in turbo c 2.01

[chop]

is there any way to change the size of the files i can open with Borland's turbo c 2.01?

Are you talking about opening large C source files in the IDE??
Or are you trying to make your own program that handles large files??

trying to open large source in the IDE. It tells me that the file is too large, and asks if I want to cut it off.

I've never used your compiler, but you might want to consider upgrading to something more recent. There are several free compilers for DOS and win32 out there.

If you have to use Turbo C, you could just abandon the IDE and use a text editor instead that supports larger files and then compile everything from the DOS prompt.

On DOS/Windows platforms, I mostly use Cygwin, which comes with a GCC port as well as a lot of other *nix tools including a BASH shell and UltraEdit, a shareware editor, to edit my source files:

Also, take a look at djgpp:

And LCC-Win32:

And Borland C++ (also compiles C programs):

thanks. went and downloaded djgpp. it's IDE(rhide) is almost exactly like borland's, so it didn't take long to get used to getting around, and it hasn't given me any errors about the file size yet, so i'm good to go.
