<h2>22.14 What is that <code>go32-v2.exe</code> program?</h2>

<p><em><strong>Q</strong>: What is go32-v2 for?</em>

<br><p>
<p><strong>A</strong>:  The <code>go32-v2</code> program does the following:

<ul>
<li>With no command-line arguments, it prints the available physical and
virtual memory, much like <code>go32</code> did in v1.x.

<li>It can run unstubified v2 COFF images, like this:

<pre> go32-v2 myprog
</pre>

<li>If you rename it to <code>go32.exe</code> and put on your <code>PATH</code> before
the v1.x <code>go32.exe</code>, it can also run a v1 COFF images, by loading
the v1.x <code>go32</code> and letting it do the job.  With this setup, you
can run v2 programs from v1.x programs, because the v1.x program will
load <code>go32-v2</code> (since it found it first on the PATH) which knows
how to run v2 images, instead the original <code>go32</code> which cannot. 
</ul>
