Please tell more.  The DPMI memory-reporting functions return the info 
about the amount of memory that is *free*, not the total installed 
memory.  Some of the memory is taken by the memory manager that you are 
using, and the low memory is not reported at all.  So please post the 
results of running your program, how much RAM do you have installed, how 
much free disk space do you have, and which memory manager are you using.
Only then it will be possible to answer your question.
