As I understand it, you can compiler your program so that you basically
don't have to worry about primary memory constraints.  Walter has somehow
set up the compiler/linker so that code/data is swapped out if is not
needed so that other code/data can be swapped in.  I would like to hear more
about this from Mr. Bright!

The Rational systems DOS extender is not included..the Zortech compiler
makes user of the extender to allow you to use extended memory in your
286/386/486 machine.  This does not mean that you can utilize the 
DOS extender for you own use.
