Dale, Sam;
This + ? ! business is Michael's concession to wierdos like me that use
monochrome.
Since I can't see the colors, I think the sequence is:
+ Arachne has found enough XMS space to allocate 2 buffers,
? Arachne has found space for 1 buffer,
! Bad news, Arachne can't find enough XMS for any buffers. (Will use disk)
The number is, I believe, the excess amount or spare.
If anyone really wants to know for sure, it was posted about 8-10 months ago.
