Abstract

In this paper we design and implement a method for application programs to allow handling of large data files in DOS environment. In this method we use extended memory and hard disk as a data buffer. And we use a part of the conventional DOS memory as a buffer cache which allows the application program to use extended memory and hard disks transparently. Using buffer cache also allows us some speed improvement for the application program.
