hi ,

I'm using DJGPP / GCC version 2.03  under DOS with cwsdpmi.exe
Although my question is probably not GCC-specific , I hope to
find some DOS  experts here.


When I boot my old DOS6.2  , then  mem.exe /d  always only shows
64 MB of RAM , no matter how much RAM I actually installed.

When I make a boot-disk with WIN98 , and boot from that disk ,
then mem.exe  shows  all installed RAM.

But my GCC203 programs still seem to use only 64MB  under DOS.
While in a DOS window under WIN98 , they seem to make use of all
installed  RAM.


Can someone explain , what's going on ?
