The awful day is fast arriving when overlays won't fit out application
into the DOS address space.  I understand that Microsoft Windows 3.0
uses a DOS extender.  Whose is it?  Rational's DOS 16/M floats around
in my memory, but I would like to hear something a little more
authoritative.

Has anyone ported an application to any of the DOS extenders?  Any
gotchas to watch for?  I suspect that this is a subject of general
interest.  What do you do for customers with 8086/8088 processors?
Tell them they need to upgrade?
