hi,

i know this is somewhat off-topic, but i am really curious, and would
like to know if anyone has an explanation.

i recently upgraded my computer's memory to 80Mb. right i now i have a
couple of dos windows, netscape, and explorer open. typing go32-v2 in
one of the dos windows gives the following:

C:\Dload> go32-v2
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: 78219 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 0 Kb

C:\Dload>

note that dpmi memory is set to 65535 in settings. here's the relevant
bit from my config.sys

[Common]
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=B000-B7FF novcpi
DEVICEHIGH=c:\windows\kmeatapi.sys /d:oemcd001
FILESHIGH=60
BUFFERSHIGH=30
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:2048

i have win 95 osr2 with vcache limited to 4Mb.
