   Ciao
I now think that the problem is about phisical memory:
in fact 0xD0000 is 832K; the exe-length is 790K so
I think that the sram-segment is used by program...
I tryed to use int 31h (lock-linear region) from the very
first line, but I don't know if it's the right way to
tell djgpp "Hey leave segment 0xD000". I used following
lines :

void main() {

   union REGS regs;

   // Int 31h , function 0x0600
   // BX:CX starting linear address of memory to lock
   // SI:DI size of region to lock (bytes)

   regs.x.ax = 0x0600;   regs.x.bx = 0xd000;
   regs.x.cx = 0x0000;   regs.x.si = 0x0000;
   regs.x.di =  0x2ff;
   int86(0x31, &regs, &regs);

   ...

}


some idea ???

ciao

    Mauro
