I've just bought Windows/386, and am running it on a no-name clone with the Chips
and Technologies 386 chipset and a Phoenix BIOS.  I find that Windows will never
run two applications - all attempts fail with a "not enough memory" message.  
(Sorry, I should be more specific:  it won't run two _standard_ applications).
The MSDOS executive claims that there is plenty of free memory (I have about
1.6 Meg total), but just won't run the second application.
I've also never seen it swap anything to disk.  Does anyone have any idea what
I may be doing wrong?
