...And I have loaded bash using up... 0 b of conventional memory. If you have
the UMBs enabled, cwsdpmi load's itself into them and the DJGPP app being
executed, uses only 17KB of memory (which I suspect to be the transfer buffer
and a part of the startup code). When you 'lh bash' you won't have even a bit
of conv mem eaten up by it.
