  A friend of mine in my department has a 386 machine running dos4.0.  He has
a Fortran program that supposedly needs more than 640K of memory to run.  He
has 4Meg on the machine.  Is there a way of using all this memory to run his
program?  BTW, what is the point of having 4Meg on a machine which runs under
an operating system that can address only 640K?  Could some kind soul 
enlighten me please.
