Subject:	spawn

I am interested in finding out what happens when one uses spawn to run a
program from another program.

My initial feeling is that in a plain DOS environment ie no DPMI & no DJGPP
your spawning program gets loaded in the 640k and runs there and when
spawning another program this gets loaded into the remaining 640k and that
is that.

But now what happens if the spawning program has been compiled with DJGPP
and is a 32 bit, flat memory, DPMI and all the bells and whistles program.
The 640k is gone so where does the spawned program run and does it make any
difference if it is a 16 bit app being spawned by a 32 bit program ?
