Re: Possible to increase 256 Mb Memory Limit? (Windows 2000)

In the following, make sure the correct registry key is being
used.  The binary octave2150a from octave-forge hacks the
registry key in its embedded cygwin1.dll so that it can coexist
with cygwin.  I don't remember off hand what the key is, but
you can find it using regedit.exe to search for octave.
