Subject: XMS-Memory Probs - go32 eats 26MB

Hi everybody!
=============

I have a tentative question:

We have a P60 with 32MB RAM, go32m3. If we configure XMS to be 26MB, i. e.
loading himem but NOT emm386, go32 reports these 26MB as available when
invoked. But if we execute a binary built with gcc263, it reports "Not enough
memory to run go32" and pretends to have only 420KB XMS left. - And it is not
possible to execute go32 any further. - If we configure RAM to be EMS (emm386)
it runs though I heard it's much slower that way. So is there a possibility to
make go32 run with this much XMS memory? - My own PC has 8MB, and it runs fine
with 6MB XMS, never had a problem...

I know there has been an extensive discussion on memory problems >32MB, but
sorry I didn't follow, so I'd be glad if somebody could give me a hint.

                            Many thanks, Your's, Sven. -


PS. I DO have faq102, and I will read it this afternoon. -
