I meant one of the go32 service functions. In fact, the one I was refering to was a DPMI service, not go32. IIRC it is called dpmi_get_free_memory_info The field reporting the number of free physical pages is not guaranteed to be present. Under PMODE./DJ and the (experimental) Caldera DPMI server, the result is -1, which reports -4096 bytes free. > > Please describe when does go32-v2 report such numbers, and what > is the version of go32-v2.exe.
