"System resources" and free memory are two very different things. Windows has a several things which you can only have a limited number of. The most restrictive is probably that you can only have 8192 windows. (Before you say, "Boy, that's a lot!" think for a minute. Every dialog box control, icon, icon title, scroll bar, etc. is a window. You can use up a lot of them in one application.) There is no way to increase this number, except maybe waiting for Windows 3.1. (I don't know if they plan to increase this or not.) -- Jim Seidman (Drax), the accidental engineer.
