- 1. You can zero out XMS and EMS, POV-Ray only uses DPMI.
- 2. You can lower (or raise) the amount of DPMI that POV-Ray uses,
- RTFM.
- 3. An OS/2 version shouldn't necessarily take less memory, except
- that you don't need to load all of the DOS support code... As far
- as the RAM used by the program itself, it POV wants 3 megs, it's
- gonna take 3 megs. Having an OS/2 version sure isn't going to
- change that...
