No, it's because most of the .EXEs in the TC 3.0 for DOS actually run in
PROTECTED MODE!  Borland Tech Support told me this is so the compiler
will be able to deal with much larger programs before choking.  

I'm porting a large Unix C program with it, and the current module I'm
working on is nearly 11,000 lines of read-code (in the TC compile status
window) and the sucker still has 400K free, after starting with 600K or
so.  The command line compiler has even more left, starting with over a
meg free.

It will also swap out to EMS and to disk, as needed.
