Subject: free() DOESN'T return memory to system

Hi,

Faq15_2.html clearly states that: "When you call free, DJGPP library doesn't
return memory to the system, it just adds it to its internal pool of free
pages. So, from the point of view of the DPMI server, these pages are not
"free"."
My question is:
Isn't there a way to ensure that DJGPP _does_ return memory to the system?
Like _heapmin() in MS Visual C.
Can someone help?
Thanks.
