Subject: Go32 error when calling system() under desqview/X
Cc: drupp AT cs DOT washington DOT edu


Frequently I get an: "Error: not enough memory to run go32!" when I try
to run something that calls system() or otherwise exec's another program.
It only happens under desqview/X and then not all the time.  For example,
I can run gcc and compile a C or Ada program ok, but if I try to run
make I get an error.

I have a 16 Meg configured as expanded memory under QEMM386.SYS and lots
of swapping/paging space.  The memory status window in desqview/X shows
there's plenty of memory.

What am I doing wrong?
