  This may not be the appropriate group to post this message. If it's
not let me apologize in advance.

  I've lately been working on a 32 bit DOS app and I'm using DJ Delorie's
port of gcc (v1.39). It seems that his extender is using virtual
memory.  The app that I'm trying to write really shouldn't use VM.
Does anyone know of some method to disable VM or maybe some gcc
builtin function that will return the amount of physical memory? I'd
also like to play around with some of the other DOS extenders that are
out there. If anyone knows of a FTP site where I can find some other 32 bit
extenders please drop me a note.

  Thanks,
  Brian...
