First of all, thanks for your reply:=)
Ive just had a talk to the author. The program allocates 32MB on startup,
regardeless of the size of the input files. So, one can understand that,
on a 32Meg machine, DPMI starts to swap. -
Do you think this is the reason for it? Does that really cause two minutes
of silence before anything happens? As I mentioned, on the same machine
running linux, the program comes up immediately.
