I'm new to windows, but, I'll share my experience (all 48 hours of it). Are you
running in 386 Enhanced mode or Standard mode? I run in standard mode (no
choice on a 286 machine) with 2MB extended memory. I run TKERNEL HI=YES KILOS=1024 before
entering windows. Then I set up BCX to run as a non-Windows application (i.e.,
DOS using COMMAND.COM). When I look at Get Info it says I have 916K of free
memory, 0 extended, 0 expanded. From what I understand TKERNEL takes care of
interfacing with the XMS driver to provide all the memory it can.
