Michael Thanks for info. I'm out of my depth here. Apologies to anyone misled by my suggestion. My EMM386 is version 1.13. When I load FreeDOS with option 1 of Config.sys "Load FreeDOS with maximum RAM free, using EMM386" - my program (a 682kB djgpp EXE, an awkward size) pages out as soon as the graphic changes. When I load FreeDOS with option 3, it doesn't. The program is memory-intensive (texture bitmaps in memory). Is there something I can do to optimise the way I use memory ? Is it better to do that than to rely on CWSDPMI ?
