Hi,

   Am I correct in assuming that djgpp still pages everything to disk
freeing all memory when you do a system?

   If so, is it possible to get djgpp to only page out (or leave avail)
so much memory for the system() call?

   or

   Does djgpp have trouble determining which memory is conventional and
will need to be freed for the program executed by the system() call?

   Has anyone played around with something like this?
   
   Side note: how does everyone like 1.06? [ I haven't gotten it yet 8^( ]
