- As you surmised, the Executor binary itself takes RAM, as do some
- other miscellaneous pieces of memory that it allocates. The Executor
- binary will take a little more memory than the size of the disk image
- once it's been loaded into RAM.
-
- cwsdpmi.exe does not, by default, use your conventional memory.
- Fortunately, this is a configurable setting so I plan to release a
- cwsdpmi.exe that will take advantage of your conventional memory as
- well as your extended/expanded memory. That should be especially
- helpful for low memory systems.
