This is on Windows, remember? I usually have several DJGPP programs
running at once, one of them Emacs which I use to do almost
everything, from editing to compiling to file management to reading my
mail, so Emacs alone needs about 15-20MB, what with all the packages and
buffers it loads for me.
Besides, in a multi-processing environment, if most of your memory is
occupied, it means that the available memory is used efficiently.
Otherwise, it is just wasted.
Of course, having a DOS configuration where only 1MB is free is *very*
bad. But this is not that case.
