- I found this too! On my computer I found another strange thing with the
- memory of OS/2. My computer has 16MB, starting Beta-OS/2 (clock.exe,
- alarm.exe and bitfax.exe as background programs) just leaves 4MB
- (printed by memsiz) to my applications -- well, where is the memory?
-
- Playing the game with e.exe, you mentioned above and leaving e.exe
- results in "Available memory: 8 MB".
-
- A question: why are there always 512 KB available ?
