Hello to everybody. I have just started using djgpp.

Trying to compile allegro 3.0  (actualy palantir, multitasking kernel for
allegro)



when I start make.exe  (using "make -f makefile.dz") i get "virtual memory
exhausted"



I know that 16MB ram is not much, but I have 600MB of hard disk space, and
I am positive that my TEMP, GO32TMP and any other needed environment
setting is
properly mapped to C:\TEMP,  so I wonder why it does't work. 


some informatio about software and hardware:

	- AMD 486DX4/120
	- 16 MB RAM
	- 600MB free space on drive C:    (environment variable set to C:\TEMP)
	- Windows 95  (Windows manages virtual memory usage, no limit on swapfile
size)



my question is:   Is there some limit (with W95) to available DPMI memory ?

(can I allocate 40MB of memory under win95 dos box ?,   under CWSDPMI ???)

P.S.  I prefer DOS, but it doesn't support long file names :(((
