I have a large application that was developed in a UNIX environment that I
am trying to port to DOS.  The program itself is over 700K, plus it uses
a good deal of dynamic memory while running.  You may well imagine that
trying to fit all this into DOS is one of my major problems.

A company called Rational Systems, Inc., located in Natick Mass., sells a
product called DOS/16M.  This appears to be a linker and run-time
loader/overlay manager that allows you to program as if you had 16 Mbytes
of memory.  If this product performs as advertised, it looks like just
what I need.

They sell this for $5000, and I would like to get some other's opinions
before I plunk down my company's money.  If you have had any experience
with this product, good or bad, please mail me your comments.  I will
summarize and post the responses to this news group
