Hello All.

There is a program (for test only yet).
main()
{
char *c; int i=0;
try {
  while (1) {
    c=new char[100000]; i++;
    printf("allocate %d\r",i);
  }
}
catch(xalloc)
{
 printf("\nwe are reach to %d blocks\n",i);
}
}

that's all I need. First my program starts to work very fast. I see that on
screen. Next it works more slower. HDD works too. OK, I understand I reach
a virtual memory block. Next my program stops with a system error
"there are not enough memory". However I need to hadle it myself!
so:
1) How can I know if my program has got a virtual, not a physical memory?
2) Why xalloc exception do not thow to me?
my compiler is Borland C++ 2.0 for OS/2.
all compiler settings alowe exception handling.
Thank you.

Vadim
