Subject:	Virtual Memory Exhaust for GCC under Win95

Hello!

I wanted to post a problem but I solved it in the meantime but I
consider
it interesting anyway - at least I costed me several hours.

I want to compile a large program system with a P100 8MB under Win95.
Frequently the error:

Virtual memory exhaust

occured although there is plenty of free disk space and the environment
varaible TMPDIR is properly set. A call of go32-v2.exe told me

7096 KB DPMI memory available
2032 KB free virtual memory space

For some obscure reason go32.exe gives a different picture although the
result
didn't seem to be relevant (and confusing for me).

5080 KB DPMI memory available
247388 KB Swap space available

I haven't replaced the Win95DPMI as DPMI provider <because 
I needed the LFN features of the DOS box under Win95> and I don't
know how to do it. 

The solution of the problem was as follows:
In the Properties section for the MS-DOS box in the section Memory
in the input field DPMI was "automatic" (which is the default). I
entered 16384 there and the compilation was possible.

Cheers
Urizano
