No.  Read what you're replying to.  He said, "for each DOS SESSION."  The
question posed was whether or not Win95 let you customize startup files
for each dos SESSION, not for each dos PROGRAM.  Let me put it to you
again (and *I* am asking now, seriously, I am not saying Win95 does
this or doesn't do it because I don't know and I want to):  Does Windows
95 allow you to run separate DOS SESSIONS concurrently with different
startup options?  In other words, can you run Dark Forces with 8 megs
of DPMI AT THE SAME TIME as running Aces Over Europe with 16 megs
of EMS on a system with 8 megs of total RAM?  This is the question that
nobody has answered yet.
