I understand about backfilling conventional memory with expanded memory,
leaving only  a bare minimum of conventional.  My question is that when I am
left with only 256k of conventional, do I have to continue to use DesqView
to run ALL Dos programs or does that expanded memory emulate conventional
memory with respect to DOS (that is, will I still have 640k available under
DOS)?
