Modal response is yes/no(!) DesQ and other software manuals speak about use of extended memory over 1 mb, but not between 640 and 1 mb. Is there any way, for any kinds of software, of getting any use out of this memory? . -- ----------- Ben Singer Department of Sociology University of Western Ontario Singer@uwo.ca London, Ontario Singer@uwovax.bitnet N6A 5C2 (519) 660-0671 (home) (519) 679-2111 Ext 5137
