- Would it not be possible to incorporate memory protection into the flags
- for AllocMem() to provide the facility but not to inhibit publically
- modifyable memory (messages) to be allocated? For example, program code
- would be allocated as ``protected'' memory, but messages would be
- allocated as usual.
-
- Also, I would really like to see this apply to virtual memory as well.
- It would drive me insane if I had to waste my CPU and RAM speeds just
- because of virtual memory. Leave us alone and let ``special'' programs
- that need megamemory use the virtual memory feature.
-
- Or is this an all or nothing setup? If so, then its better to do without.
