Here's the story on protected mode operations (just to clear the air on this
question).  In order to get Windows 3.0 to operate in protected mode you
MUST have the himem driver loaded.  As most of you know, this can't be done
on a 640K machine because it has no hi-dos memory in which to load the
himem driver.

You basically need at least 1Meg to run in protected mode.
