I have 8megs of ram, 70 megs free on C, 20 on D, and 420 on E.  DJGPP is
installed on E.  I have a 32 meg windows swap file on C.

When I am in a Windows DOS box, running go32-v2 gives me the following:

DPMI memory available: 4967 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 10433 Kb

However,  when I exit windows and am in DOS (not a dos box), go32-v2 gives
this:

DPMI memory available: 7147 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 73837 Kb

You might notice that the swap space is considerably larger.  I set the virtual
memory in the properties box of my DOS boxes to 32 megs (the size of the swap
file I created in Windows) but 10433 is much less than 32000.   How can I get
bigger numbers??

I have not changed it, so the temp directory specified in the djgpp.env points
to a subdirectory of djgpp still, which is on a drive with 420 megs free.

What does stubedit do?  (And is there documentation on it somewhere?)

Thanks,
