Hi,

this question is about memory.

My machine runs Win ME with 256MB ram, and I run my programs through
a dos window. With go32-v2, I find that I have DPMI memory of 205MB and
DPMI swap of 50MB. My disk swap space is actually a lot larger (~1GB).

I sometimes use a Win XP machine, and there, from a C: prompt box, the
DPMI swap is 0.

How do I make the DPMI swap bigger? I have read about DPMI's in the FAQ,
but I don't think I really understand it.

I am not subscribed to the mailing list, so please use my email
address. Thank you very much.
