Even loading EMM managers will make these figures useless, since they "convert" the memory to other types (XMS, VCPI). Running from a DJGPP program, you will alway have DPMI loaded, so even XMS and or VCPI numbers might not be very meaningful. Your best bet is to examine Int 15/XMS/VCPI memory before trying to run a PM program, which is why my meminfo program was a TCC based image.
