Well, I still think that would depend. If you are executing a DOS program you
might not have enough Conventional Memory. Even running under Windows the
Largest Executable program size might depend upon your conventional memory
which is limited to 640k. Regardless of how much RAM.
Do a ;MEM command from Sync's Main Menu and you'll see the maximum
conventional memory available with the BBS loaded. Which is the largest
possible program that you can execute. Theoretically.
I only had trouble with a couple apps here that wouldn't run swapped out. A
Upload Tester and one Door which i don't seem ot recall the name of. I have
256Mb of RAM so I don't think it was a RAM issue :-)
I set all the BBS windows to 600k Conventional Memory Minimum and I usually
show about 279k free Conventional from the BBS Prompt.
