To:	djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu

It would be nice to be able to "map" an existing file into virtual
memory instead of allocating memory for it with new or malloc() and
then reading its contents into virtual memory (which can simply cause
some or all of it to be written out again into the vm swap file). I
think some other DOS extenders have calls to do this (PharLap's?).
 
Perhaps this feature could be added to v2.x?
 
BTW, thanks to all who responded to my earlier Virtual memory / DPMI
question.  I ended up just turning off QEMM's QDPMI and now DJGPP
programs are happy, even when not running in a Win 3.1 DOS box.
