Howdy,

	I've been reading this group for about one week and I see many new and
wonderful things we can do with Windows 3.0.  Now, here's a question for you
Windows 3.0 experts and optimizer-types:  I have a 33Mhz 80386 with 4 Megs of
RAM and a 200Meg HardDrive (Windows has its own 30Meg Partition).  I use
himem.sys in my config.sys file and get about 14-15Megs of Virtual Memory.  I
heard that the memory indicated in About Program Manager is the amount of
available RAM plus hard disk space left (in a partition in some cases).  My
partition has over 20Megs left and probably about 3Megs of RAM.  Why the 
discrepancy?  Any suggestions, comments, flames(not) would be appreciated.

Please reply to jseto@polyslo.calpoly.edu by e-mail.  I will summarize if I 
receive enought feedback.

Chuck
