If you want to run OS/2 2.1 in 4 megs, use NC's MENU.EXE as your user
interface.
 
Change the Protshell to cmd.exe or try menu.exe. You can launch DOS, OS/2 and
WinOS2 apps from the configurable menu. Alt+Esc switches you around your open
tasks. 
 
On a 386DX/25 with 4 megs, I had a OS/2 FS session, DOS Window, Winos2 3.1
(with Word for Windows 2.0c open), PMseek and PMdcalc all open.
 
The speed was still very good. 
 
After I installed the Netware Requester, it took up some of the RAM, so I
could only run 2-3 apps with good performance. I reduced the DISKCACHE to 128k
from 256K and this helped a bit.
 
But it was very usable thanks to Norton Commmander for OS/2.
