That right. WINDOZE provides its own DMPI server. You don't need (and
can't use as you've seen) another DPMI server while running WINDOZE.

Either that K in "64K" is a typo.

If it isn't you not running out of memory.

If it is and you really meant "64M", then you need to configure your
DOZE box setting so DMPI memory is set to "Auto". Then you should have
~384 MiB of RAM available. You can check with "GO32-V2" and use the
_sum_ (important) of the numbers it presents.


Right,
