Hi All,

How do I find out how much RAM memory Warp 4 thinks there is in my PC?

I ask because my BIOS has an option for OS/2 with > 64MB, and I have
more than that now.

Warp 3 Syscheck used to tell me.

Warp 4 Hardware Monitor says nothing about memory.

TIA,
Chris.

You *could* write a REXX program to call the DOSQuerySysInfo library call
from the RXU (*not* RexxUtil) utilities.  One of the data items returned
is the physical memory size (in 4kB pages).

Ignore that: the BIOS "fiddle" was only a necessity on OS/2 v2.x; all
versions of Warp will happily accept memory sizes greater than 64MB
without setting this flag (indeed, setting it might be hazardous:-)
