However, I've got a few questions about it, and issues relating to it... 1-How do I find out how much free memory is available? 2-Why on Earth is the Linker so slow??? I'm running a 486DX/50 w/ 8MB RAM 3-What exactly is SWORD? 4-I've heard something about having to distribute your source code if you write a program using the C++ libraries, is that true? 5-What are the minimum files required for operating DJGPP(within reason, you know, I want to compile, have the standard library, an assembler, that stuff)? OK, I'd say that's about it. Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated! :) -Michael P.
