[Wine] Can I define how much free memory is reported to an app?

Hi

Sorry if this is a simple question, I haven't been able to find this out by myself!

I'm trying to run an old application that I wrote under Visual BASIC 4.0 many years ago, however I am encountering the same problem under Wine that I find under modern XP: while trying to open the database I receive a 2004: Out of Memory error.

It appears that this problem is actually due to an over-abundance of memory, and that the old DAO3032.DLL probably returnes RAM values around the 1 GB range or more, as negative numbers.

Porting to VB 6 is out of the question at the moment, so I am wondering if there is some switch or registry key which would allow me to tell Wine to report LESS available system RAM than is actually available.

Any suggestions welcome
