Summary: old apps don't run because of too much memory Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jb999@gmx.de
Old programs like the write.exe from Windows 3.1 do not run if there is too much memory available - see http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;253912 for a detailed description. The method to limit memory mentioned there doesn't work with wine. What's missing is a possibilty to give an application less memory to work with.
