subject: Spawning a DOS app from Clipper

Reply-To: erik.wachtmeester@bighole.iaf.nl
Hello All,
I'm using Clipper 5.2e and Exospace 1.0g, and when I spawn a DOS program from
within a Clipper program using Clipper's RUN command, the calling program can
keep up to 155Kb real memory occupied. Is there a way to reduce this amount? 
Long time ago, with Summer87, I had a little library that reduced this 'stub'
memory to 4Kb, but I don't have that piece of code anymore, and I doubt it 
would
work with 5.2e/Exospace...
Regards,
Erik
