Q: I have 5 MBytes of free RAM on my machine, but DJGPP programs start paging after only 256KBytes of memory were used??
If your programs start paging after only 256KBytes of memory were used, most probably you are using EMM386 and CWSDPMI, and your CONFIG.SYS specifies no amount of memory when it installs EMM386. Some versions of EMM386 default to 256K in this case; you should tell EMM386 explicitly how much memory it should take over. You can use the go32-v2 program to see what amount of extended memory your DJGPP programs will get.
