Why does WIN386 take up 35KB when you initially run Windows, and about 7K once
you have exited and run Windows up again? VTSR, MAPMEM and MEM/C all report
this program doing this. I suppose WIN386 is the resident part of Windows in
a virtual DOS session.

One of our users is having this problem, and one of his DOS applications needs
the memory, so he starts windows, closes it, and restarts it, every time he
starts his machine.

He is using:

DOS 5.0
Novell drivers NETX 3.26 IPX 3.10 on a 3.11 fileserver
Clarkson packet driver NI5210.COM v. 10.2.2 and WINPKT.COM
EMM386 is running with ems enabled.
DOS loaded high
Using Windows 3.1

Any reasons why / fixes ?
