Why isn't the report along the lines of go32-v2 enough?  Is it that 
important to tell people "You have 24MB installed, but only 1MB are 
available to DJGPP programs"?  People usually know how many RAM they 
have, and when they see "1MB free DPMI memory" message, they should know 
by themselves, don't they?
