   If you really want to make the "default" as automatic for the user as   
   possible, instead of using 64MB, you could try to guestimate the initial   
   buffer for fpc/go32v2 using unit go32, function getmeminfo   
      
   That is not very safe (since DPMI might be lying to you, and other users   
   cloud the picture), but is the best thing you could do.
