4 //The purpose of this program is to ensure that the target system can allocate at least 1G of memory
5 //in fairly small chunks.

7 //This program was used to evaluate the Cygwin C development environment on my PC before beginning
8 //work on the "bjcceval" program. It was determined the Cygwin will successfully allocate about 2G
9 //of memory. This is more than adequate, and 1G is probably enough. Systems that won't allow at
10 //least 1G to be allocated via malloc() may be problematic. In any case, the "bjcceval" program
11 //will provide an error message if it runs out of memory (rather than a logical error affecting the
12 //results).
