I have a question about the 'swap' space reported by go32-v2.exe. I found
a copy of 'go32.exe' which came with some freeware that I got of some site,
and, when run said:
go32 version 1.12 Copyright (C) 1994 DJ Delorie
Lowest version I can run is 1.08
go32.exe usage: go32 [-d {debugger}] [{program} [{options} . . . ]]
go32.exe build time was Thu Aug 04 19:52:27 1994
DPMI memory available: 11612 Kb
Swap space available: 429024 Kb
And 'go32-v2.exe' reported this:
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: 12195 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 1253 Kb
How come go32 gets 342 times more swap space? These were run
one-after-the-other on the same dos box under Win95. These results seem fairly
consistent, I've never got more than about 5 Megs of swap-space available. I
have 4 drives, none have less than 300Megs free.
