This may be obvious to most but ..... not being a very
DOSy person it cost me an evening!
When running DJGPP/GNAT do so from a MSDOS session
launched from Windows. I spend a very unpleasant
evening trawling through DOS manuals, editing my
config.sys file and rebooting my machine to give
sufficient extended (or is it expanded ??) memory
for DJGPP/GNAT to run without crippling the machine
for other apps.
After several hours I think I had got is correct and
decided to try it out when launched from windows. It
seems to bypass all the changes I had made in config.sys
and used the windows memory manager running much more
efficiently than I had managed to tweak it upto. I was
able to restore the original config.sys file and throw
the DOS manual back in the waste bin!
