Wait a minute -- it is not my impression that, regardless of the
hosting platform, the 86 language tools would ever use more than a meg
of memory.  Inside, all hosted versions are really the same 8086 OMF
files containing the same code.  All that differs is the wrapper or
special loader used.

Are you saying that under Xenix, you can get PLM86, for instance, to
report more than 1024K free in the DICTIONARY SUMMARY section of the
listing file?  I am skeptical.
