 This is probably very naive, but is it true that win 3.0 when
running non-windows applications cannot use memory beyond 640k for
those applications ? I have tried unsuccessfully to run Kermit and
MicroEmacs at the same time (386 enhanced mode). The windows
applications are smart enough to use mem beyond 640. 
 My gut feeling is that the only way to increase memory for those
applications is to romove as much junk from config.sys and
autoexec.bat (like tsr and device drv) or put those into high mem. 
 Please correct me if I am wrong. If such is the case, I would
appreciate pointers on how to put the drivers into high mem  in order
to maximize the low memory.  
 My primary reason for getting windows was the 386 enhanced mode. The 
multitasking if you insist. It all works well, and as well as I have 
probably expected it to work. The glitch seems to be the non-windows
applications still stuck < 640K !
 Where can I find win 3.0 shareware ? (ftp).
