I am just begining in DJGPP.  I am used to 640K memory.  If I use the simple
function Malloc(6000000) will i allocate 6MB of RAM or do i have to do
something else?

When i use functions such as biosmemory, or go32_dpmi_get_physical_memory(), it
returns my total memory not whats left.  What function do I use to find out how
much memory i have left, not total?

Thanks
Malcolm
