Message-ID: Date: 8 Jun 90 15:08:52 GMT Sender: news@presto.ig.com Reply-To: dow@presto.ig.com (Christopher Dow) Organization: IntelliGenetics, Inc. Lines: 15 When I make a pif file for a non-windows application (i.e. NDmake), and put 640K in both the required and desired text field, it still doesn't get as much memory as it would if I wasn't running Windows at all. I have a 386 with 8 MB of ram an a 4 MB swap file, with network software. I did check and I am running in 386 Enhanced mode, and also when I change other options in the PIF such as display usage, the changes are reflected when I run the program, so I know that Windows is using the PIF I think it is. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong?
