Yeah, I know a guy who, no matter what he does within the context of editing shortcut parameters for a dos session within windows, cannot get more than about 500k or less conventional memory free. This leaves about 80% of his old dos software unusable. Of course, the win95 manual is silent on these types of problems. Actually the win95 manual is silent on just about everything else to given its paltry size. Now, my friends computing requirements preclude going to a separate DOS session via the F8 key. Myself, I tend to prefer that avenue and therefore, I find that I can configure my computer to run most everything. The whole point is that Win95 is not a transparent OS that it was advertised as. Maybe it can be made to work, but I wonder if there wasn't an ulterior motive on Microsofts part in choosing to keep people largely in the dark via the "no-manual" situation......???? Later....Tim S.
