I'm trying to maximise the amount of conventional (below 640k) memory
for a program that I 'shell' from a DJGPP program using the system
library function. Operating system is MSDOS 6.22. It seems that the
DJGPP program takes about 92k of conventional memory, estimated by
taking the difference between a 'mem' command typed at the DOS prompt
and one shelled from my program. I'm using the CWSDPMI extender. Any
ideas welcome.
