Well (This may just be me), but my guess would be 'no'. I wrote a program in
DJGPP to allocate memory and was beta testing it under Windows 95. The
machine I was testing it on had 24-Meg RAM and a 545-Meg hard drive. I was
able to get up to 22 of the 24 meg before the program came back and said there
was not enough DPMI memory. It may be that I was allocating too fast, and the
DPMI host had a fit, I don't know.
My advice would be "Try it". What harm could it do?
