//]The reason there is no interaction between Smartdriv and Windows/386 is
//]simple really: Smartdriv must be loaded into paged expanded memory at
//]boot-up time for Windows to recognize it, but Windows/386 ignores and
//]cannot manage any expanded memory that it hasn't created itself...

Said this way, makes lots of sense...but there's still  something
haunting  me  in  the  back  of  my mind about this...I'll dig in
further (shit!  there goes  the paint  job I  was supposed  to do
today)

//]With the exception of a handful of GEM applications, all the
//]applications and most utilities I run, run under Windows.  I use
//]Windows/386 2.17...

You're not the first to mention  2.17; I'm at 2.1; I wonder  what
the maintenance was between our  2 versions?  I know some  had to
do with video/printer drivers, but what else?  Do you know?

//].................  Before I'll start using Windows/386 as a total
//]environment, it will have to allow use of high memory and install its
//]memory management system at boot-up via a device driver.  Maybe 3.0 will
//]allow this...

There are many things I'm  hoping for too, the most  important of
which  are  decent  memory  management, tweakable task scheduling
(time slices) and STABILITY!  I still crash the system once every
1-2 weeks.

//]I already have Pub-Tech's File Organizer.  What about you?

Command Post, Excel, Am
 (lightly, Write does the job most of the
time),  Page  Maker,  Corel  Draw,  Active  Life, a few utilities
(finder, browser)
