	I am about to begin writing a large application on a 386 running
MS-DOS with 8Meg of RAM.  We are thinking of using Microsoft Windows
Development Kit and the Microsoft C compiler.  I've been told that
DOS will not allow one to access more tha 640K of memory at any
given time, without using a moving window.  Is this true?  Is it
(implementing a moving window) easy to do?  If not, is there a 
compiler that will allow us to access all 8 Meg easily, with some
form of a graphical user interface (menus, etc.)?  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
