=======================================================
I believe that OS/2 only uses the 1st 16Mb for processing and will use the 
additional RAM for swapping.  Once this is full, it will swap to disk.  This is 
why only 3-8Mb is free.  I have 32Mb in my Pentium 133 and I have only 512K 
available after booting.  I autostart about 15 programs, however!

TTYL, ROg!
