Yup, you can run >separate DOS sessions with specified or automatically allocated EMS, XMS, or >DPMI memory, different environment size, configurable conventional memory >amount, separate autoexec.bat and config.sys for each dos app. Again, this is not an answer to the question that was asked. I would like to see a statement, with documented support, saying "In Windows 95 you can run separate DOS sessions with differing configuration settings CONCURRENTLY." So far, all anybody has said is that you can have separate configurations for different programs. This was not, and is not, the question, and is, in fact, not very relevant (you could do this with straight DOS). Perhaps Win95 users don't even understand the question, because they aren't even familiar with this feature. Here is the quote from the documentation I have on Win95: "All 16-bit applications share a single address space - the System Virtual Machine (VM)." What the question is, essentially, is if this is true. // Jeff Williams // NYU UGFTV/Cinema Studies // jmw...@is2.nyu.edu
