    I don't know why it's 4.5Megs short, on my machine the value is RAM-RAMDrive
(within 300k).  BTW, is there any correlation between what go32-v2 reports under
Windows as free physical memory and the actual physical memory free?  Because no
matter what the system load, go32-v2 reports ~ 60Megs of physical memory free even
when "System Monitor" only reports 1.6Megs.  I realize this isn't really a DJGPP
question, I was just curious.
