A Danish company has asked me to help them with some problems they have
with MS-Windows vers. 2.10. Since I know absolutely nothing about MS-Windows
I would like to ask if anybody reading this newsgroup perhaps can help me.

Thanks for your help.

Here are the problems:

To allow for more memory than the traditional 640 Kbytes we use EMS 
via the LIM 4.0 driver.

However, this expands the memory available for application programs, but
we are still in short of 0-640 K for drivers, MS-windows, dynamic library, etc.

What can be done to minimise memory requirements in 0-640 K ?

Can the dynamic library, partly or totally, be moved to EMS ?

This is especially a problem when trying to run Code-view, which needs 200 K
in 0-640 K.
Is it possible to reduce these 200K? 

Some other problems are:

MS-Windows supports only two serial ports. How can this be expanded?

If a program sends a "Post Message" to itself, in order to release the CPU,
this release apparently does not take place.
What can be done to achieve this?
