What's the problem, exactly? Is it merely that go32-v2 reports a number
that seems to be too small, or do you indeed see that your DJGPP programs
start paging very soon? If nothing's wrong except the memory report,
maybe the OS/2 indeed doesn't have any significant amount of free physical
RAM? (If you ask me, any system that doesn't grab all of the available
memory for the OS needs cannot be seriously called an operating system.)
I suggest you try compiling a large source file and compare the
compilation speed with the figures mentioned in the DJGPP FAQ list,
section 7.1. If the speed is OK, then your system is set up correctly.
