Subject: Re: controlling where go32 puts program


go32 currently doesn't know how to swap itself (or any DPMI-required
buffers) to memory during an exec.  The V2.0 code I've been working on
reduces the overhead to about 5K of DOS memory (plus DPMI-required
buffers, about 4K for Windows and 100K for QDPMI) per process, which
would allow many more levels of nesting.

Adding a swapper to go32 shouldn't be that tricky, if it's designed
for Turbo-C's small model and isn't GPL or copyrighted such that it
can't live under go32's copyright.
