Hi all,

I'm trying to get the Boehm garbage collector to work with DJGPP 2.01.  As
far as I know it used to work fine with DJGPP 1.??.  From looking at the
Boehm code it looks like DJGPP used to have a fixed address for the bottom
of the stack, but from the output that I get from the Boehm GC test code
it appears that the stack address for version 2.01 now varies. (Is this
something to do with the fact that it now uses DPMI??)

Anyway, I need to know how I can find the bottom of the stack. (that
should be the high address since it grows downward?)

(btw. I'm using v4.11 alpha 4, because it has a few changes for DJGPP 2.01
incorporated)

Any help appreciated.  (anybody already got it working under DJGPP 2.01?)

cya

Llew Mason
