No, it's not a typo, I really have 645k free, it is definitively conventional memory and I am really running Dos 3.3. So why should I upgrade? Is 5.0 any faster? Does DESQview 2.3 work without any problems? What about Norton Commander and all the Norton Utilities? And Turbo Profiler, Turbo Debugger 386? And what will be the price? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Klaus Hartnegg, Kleist-Str. 7, D-7835 Teningen, Germany | include standard Bitnet : hartnegg@dfrruf1 or hartnegg@cernvm | disclaimer here!
