Programming with Windows 3.0 presents many challenges.  We have recently 
come across some

- In our application, after opening around 15 modeless dialog boxes
	(with styles set to ~CS_SAVEBITS) and around 100 small windows 
	(about 15x80 pixels in size, also with ~CS_SAVEBITS), Windows
	starts to not repaint all the screen!  I switch to the Program
	Manager and it shows 650K free memory left (GlobalCompact confirms
	this), but only around 14% of free system resources.
	What does this mean?  Are we creating too many windows?

- A rumor I heard was that I could run Windows 3.0 on my 
	HP Vectra QS/20 with just 2M of memory.  Is this the case?
	Running "win/e" only brings up the system in Standard mode.
	Do I need some particular memory drivers to do this?
		
		
Thanks,
Keith
