The biggist problem I have is with the Informix DBMS and MicroSoft Windows 3.0.
The programs load into memory, thus creates multiple copies of 4DOS processes.
Therefore, you quickly run out RAM in Windows.  This forces me to run non-
windows programs in DOS only.  I really want to use Windows 3.0 as the only
interface. But, I guess I'll never be able to.

I tried to reply directly to Greg, but the message bounced at apple.com.
My discussion should really be posted to comp.windows.ms.  My apologies
to people in this newsgroup.
