Two questions:
1) For reasons unknown, my Windows/386 has started crashing whenever
   I try to print something within Windows, be it from a Windows
   application or a "normal" program.  The only change I've made to
   my system is that I now have a Vega Deluxe EGA instead of a
   generic EGA, and I don't know whether that change coincided with
   Windows' decision to be nasty (I don't print things from Windows
   very often).  I was wondering if anybody else had experienced
   similar symptoms, and, if so, what the remedy was.
2) Would it be possible to suspend a virtual machine, and then save
   it to disk as a temporary file?  Then I could use the memory that
   virtual machine had, until I load it from disk and resume it.  A
   program that I leave running, sometimes for days, will not let me
   exit it in the middle and pick up where I left off.  Sometimes I
   would like to be able to pause it and free the memory it is
   hogging.  Any chance that future versions of Win/386 will have
   any capabilities like this?

Thanks...
Eric
