If himem.sys is in config.sys, Windows (3.0) can run in protected
mode.  Here is the problem:

With himem.sys, running Windows, Intel Code Builder C (iCC 1.0), or
other DPMI extended program (i.e. anything linked with iCC) causes
subsequent executions of Pharlap 386|* (2.2d), MetaWare High C (2.3),
or any VCPI extended program (i.e. things linked with Pharlap 386|link)
to be unable to find enough memory.

Removing himem.sys removes this problem, but removes the possibility
of running Windows in protected mode.

What would be nice to know is if there is a simple way to "fix"
the memory after running a DPMI program so that VCPI programs can
find the memory again.

Please email replies.
