I am very interested in the abilitiy of DOS 4.0X to have larger than 
32M partitions.  However, I have quite severe limitation on system 
memory on my system ( mouse driver, net work drivers etc and programs 
that need 500k ).  Can anyone point out the advantages and disadvantages
of switching to DOS 4.0.  I would also like to know the amount of
memory that DOS 4.0 uses vs 3.3 and 3.21.  Please reply by e-mail.
