There is a bug in Windows 3.0! When you exit Windows 3.0, windows does not realse extended memory so every program you run after that will not have any extended memory free to use (This answer was told to me by guy at microsoft, they will fix it in version 3.1). So you must reboot again to make it free! // Gunnar =============================================================================== Gunnar Dahlstrom Chalmers University of Technology Div.
