Hi, when I run a DOS program in Window 3.0 (386 Ench mode).  How much
memory do the DOS program get?  I know that someone will tell me 640K.
But will there be another version of command.com taking up the RAM?
If not, does it mean that my DOS apps actually get more available memory
than running in plain old DOS?
