I have a compaq deskpro 386s at work, with 5MB memory, and configured for
OS/2.  Is it possible to setup and run MS-windows (booting DOS) and use the
enhanced mode?  Do I need to use any EMM like QEMM?  And how does it work?
I am very novice on this so please explain to me...

Multitasking in OS/2 is fine..the problem is I have a few programs running
for OS2 but tons running on DOS...if I can use windows to multitask under
DOS (while being able to switch back to OS/2 by rebooting) and use the 
expanded memory, it would be wonderful.  Please pardon my ignorance and
give me some hints...
thanks.
