	Win3 works fine for me under Dos5 though there were a fee initial
      hiccups, cause I don't have enough memory to put all that I want
      up into himem like you can do with qemm. But no I'm hooning and
      get more memory for dos apps under windows. :-)

	Yep, this is true. When you get all your N disks that come with
      Dos5 and then type setup to install it, it puts a file called
      WINA20.386 in to root dir on your boot disk (ie C:) and if this
      file does not exist windows will not run in 386enh mode.
	Ohh, yea and another thing. Is it possible to set up expanded
      memory, extended memory, put stuff up in himem and still be able
      to run win in standard mode? I couldn't get it to work. I can
      only run in 386enh mode which is fine, but I was wondering?-)
