I now have (for the FAT16 kernel) for DOSEMU (no memmgr necessary) 644992 bytes free on a real machine with HIMEM64+UMBPCI 641200 bytes free
I think (am not 100% sure though) we have beaten both MSDOS and DRDOS (without QEMM) in that respect then. Ought to have a virtual beer if that's true. The trick was to make the fnodes far again. However I could do so without inflating the code by 1.5K by using two near fnodes, and fmemcpy to/from the far ones when necessary. Now the code (HMATEXT) overhead is ~300 bytes, plus we have those two low fnodes that take 120 bytes together. But with say 30 files 1800 bytes could be moved to UMBs. Anyway, just to let you know, it's in the CVS now, the source tar.gz is still created at 10am GMT every morning but it needs some more testing before releasing.
