Hello,

        For reasons that would take WAY too much bandwidth to explain I need
to run Windows 3.1 on my Mac IIci. I installed SoftAT 2.51 on my Mac (no
problem) and then Installed DOS 5.00 (no problem), When I type MEM the system
te
lls me I have 655360 total and available conventional memory,
587168 largest executable program size and 1048576 total and free EMS memory.
When I try to install WIN 3.1 by selecting drive a: and typing setup I get
an error message from SoftAT saying "SoftAT does not support more than 1 MB
of memory. and I am given two options 'Quit' or 'Reset'. Does this mean I
will not be able to run WIN 3.1 on my Mac? is there a way around this?
Please I am desperate, I need to install this ASAP, Please send me
E-Mail and I will post here if there is enought interest!

Thanks a bunch

Juan
