I found this too! On my computer I found another strange thing with the memory of OS/2. My computer has 16MB, starting Beta-OS/2 (clock.exe, alarm.exe and bitfax.exe as background programs) just leaves 4MB (printed by memsiz) to my applications -- well, where is the memory? Playing the game with e.exe, you mentioned above and leaving e.exe results in "Available memory: 8 MB". A question: why are there always 512 KB available ?
