When I've upgraded to v2.01, I've also upgraded my PC to 80Mb and I expected to be able to use 80Mb of memory as well as 128Mb of hard disk swap space. However, when I run go32-v2 to ask how much memory I have I get this message: go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23 Usage: go32 coff-image [args] Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as well as v1 binaries (old makefiles). Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one. Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output. DPMI memory available: 50495 Kb DPMI swap space available: 28261 Kb Moreover, when I run the DOS instruction mem to ask how much memory DOS has I get this other message, althoug Windows 95 says I have 80Mb of RAM memory: Tipo de memoria Total Usada Libre ---------------- -------- -------- -------- Convencional 640K 83K 557K Superior 0K 0K 0K Reservada 384K 384K 0K Extendida (XMS) 64.512K 63.488K 1.024K ---------------- -------- -------- -------- Memoria total 65.536K 63.955K 1.581K Total por debajo 640K 83K 557K Expandida total (EMS) 1.024K (1.048.576 bytes) Expandida libre (EMS) 208K (212.992 bytes) Mayor tamaño de programa ejecutable: 557K (570.560 bytes) Mayor bloque de memoria superior libre: 0K (0 bytes) MS-DOS es un programa residente en el área de memoria alta.
