As stated this is a limitation of HIMEM.SYS. Either use a later
version or use FDXXMS from FDXMS 0.8 which will be released Real Soon
Now (tm) (<http://www.ludd.luth.se/~ams/freedos/>).

: now I discovered go32-v2.exe , but it doesn't report more RAM than DOS.
: There should be a way around this. Why can't cwsdpmi  overwrite
: the (wrong) DOS memory table  and use all RAM ?

I think it can as long as you don't use any HIMEM.SYS...


Right,
