Dear All,
	OK, I'm confused. I downloaded v2 last night (I had been using
v2 beta 2 until now) and installed it. I compiled all of the Allegro 2
stuff fine, good I thought, it all works. Then I tried to run TEST.EXE
and get the error

DPMI: Out of Conventional Memory

a quick call to mem tells me I have 446k free. A cold boot leaving 556k
free and it all works. So then try and compile some of my code, and all
bu the smallest examples suffer from this problem. It seems that calls
to malloc are trying to use conventional memory only. Why is this and
how can I stop it? With a couple of 100,000 line systems to re-compile,
this better not be a nasty problem 8(
