We have written a PC based mail agent (MAILplusPC) which allows the user
to use any word processor of choice.  Unfortunately, WordPerfect 5.1 uses
384K, plus the 200K for MAILplusPC and 50K for DOS leaves room for nothing
else.  Many users have LAN, menu, and/or voice management software running,
meaning they get "Out of Memory" errors when attempting to invoke WP from
MAILplusPC.

South Mountain Software has available a product called "Hold Everything"
which works like a "spawn" on the PC except that it writes the memory
space to disk (or extended memory), freeing up all but about 10K of the
memory used by MAILplusPC.  Before buying, has anyone out there tried
"Hold Everything", and if so, please reply about its reliablity and speed.

Also, if anyone knows of any similar products, please let me know.  To
be considered, the product must support Turbo-C 2.0.

Thanks in advance,
Doug
