So what does that mean? Why does windows make a huge file(1 MEG) when in dos there is only a small file(50k). I was thinking that under dos I actually have about 2 meg of extended memory when I run the program, but when I run windows I usually have maybe 800k extended memory. I guess that under windows the entire memory space malloced is the page file, where under dos the memory malloced is actual memory. Is that something like what you mean?
