This program demonstrates DJGPP's virtual memory feature.  It
allocates as much memory as it can, loops thru all the memory writing
the value 0xA5 to each byte, and then loops thru again writing the
value 0x5a.  You should hear disk activity during both write cycles as
DJGPP swaps virtual memory pages to and from disk.


The ...djgpp/examples/c/glob directory should contain the following
files:
   readme.txt   this text
   build.bat    batch file for compiling, linking & running the program
   makefile     make file for compiling, linking & running the program
   vm.c         c source code for the virtual memory example

To compile, link, and run the program, you can type any of the
following: 
   build
   make
   make go
 
Typing "build" will execute the build.bat batch file.  Typing "make
go" will cause make to build the "go" target of the makefile, which 
happens to update the executable and then run it four times with four
different command line arguments.  Typing "make" will cause make to
execute the default (i.e. first) target, which in this case is the
"go" target.  For more information about the make program, consult the
make info files. 

Once the program is built, you can run it by typing any of the
following:
   vm
   make
   make go

The program will print a line after allocating or writing each
megabyte. 

This program was compiled and tested on a 486DX-33 running Windows 95,
dos box, LFN=n, libc 2.01, gcc 2.7.2.1, make 3.75
