Re: Limit System Memory Available to Program

DosBox is an MS-DOS Emulator. If you're trying to use an MS-DOS based

That might rule it out then.

Another way would be to install a VM, with a second Windows XP running
with 512MB of memory in it. This has other drawbacks, as you need to
license a second copy of Windows XP, maintain a second copy of Windows
XP, etc.

Interesting idea, but might be more work than I feel like expending.

There's only one right way: Get the application vendor to fix their
mess. If they don't want to do that, drop the application.

Application can't be dropped until the end of August.

I figure I'll do one of two things:
Dual boot option the PC.
Set up another pc or laptop that is limited to 512 and they can VNC in to control it.
