I guess this will be useful only if your OS is 16-bit. I think that information should be added to the Wiki.

BTW, I saw this from your page
flat mode multi thread OS
Is your OS 16-bit real mode? How will it be flat mode then?

I am not sure about that. It will be useful for someone who develops an MS-DOS clone.

Article deleted. As mentioned by Brynet-Inc, the information is wrong. In addition to that, even the correct information is Windows/DOS specific. Those memory models are just standards accepted by these OSes.

So you take your Decision and deleted my article from wiki , i'm very sad to hear that
but please notice the information was correct
as is from BORLAND free user manual,so
in my opinion if you interest in 32bit programming also there is another guys interests in 16bit and even 8bit programming :idea:

upon your criticism on my article , the url above should remove to, it's a 16bit compiler and IDE
and no one on earth and even MARS use it ???

Article undeleted. By a count of this thread I see two votes in favor (you and Brynet) and two against (the OP and raghuk). I There is no majority, let alone consensus.

Also, if you state that the information is factually inaccurate, I need a bit more concrete evidence of the matter, since I couldn't personally find any discrepancies between the page and my own recollections of Turbo C use. Also Brynet never said that the article's facts are off, only displayed doubt of the relevance.

Hence, delete rolled back.

That said, the article does need quite a bit of work to become something more than a boring summation of terms (which ATM is my biggest objection)
