Subject: Rayshade for DOS is here! (Achievement value only)

Well folks, I have Rayshade compiling and linking successfully under DOS.
Now guess what? It doesn't run! As some people have pointed out, Rayshade needs
a LOT of memory. DOS is limited to 640k normally with extra memory available
but not readily accessable. (Expanded and entended memory)

I assume that Rayshade can't find enough memory to even initialise itself, let
alone do anything. The program terminates with an:

'abnormal program termination' error.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here. Could anyone tell me of
their experiences with memory problems on a UNIX platform so that I at least
have an idea of where I'm going.

I here that some images require megabytes of memory to complete. What happens
if your machine doesn't have that much memory?

Any coments greedily accepted!

Regards Peter
