#You do not need additional memory management for 386 enhanced.  That's

	640K barrier still applies here! How'd you run a 512K
non-windows application if you open a DOS window and find out you only
have 450K? The reason a lot of folks (including myself) try to sqeeze in
more conventional RAM, especially if Network software is present, is to
accomodate these non-windows apps, a.k.a. 640K-DOS.
