Hello, I am just starting out in c++, and I have a question about how I would
go about making a rther large array  (like 3 arrays each of 720*486 bytes, or
so).  I have heard some compilers have a limit to how big they can normally
make something, and you have to go about allocating memory for anything larger
than like 64k.  In DJGPP, would I have to do anything special to make an array
allong the lines of ...

char large_ish_matrix [720] [486]

?

Sorry if this is a silly questuion, but I am an extreme newbie to both c++, and
DJGPP.

Thanks for you help!
