VB/DOS, both Standard and Pro editions, use Far Strings so that you can
use all available DOS memory.

Addiitonally, both Std and Pro editions include a clone of the Windows
Notepad application created with VB/DOS.  Notepad.MAK creates a 
full-featured windowing edititor that runs in text-mode DOS. All source 
code is included.  The Notepad in the Pro version even includes
on-line hypertext Help.
