I think you have hit the nail on the head ... win3 (sometimes referred to as win/16) is a 16 bit implementation, leading one to conclude that it has the same overall limitations as a 286 (16MB of memory). When (if?) win/32 makes it out, then it would appear logical (to me) that it would be able to support considerably more memory. leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
