   I can't remember if you wrote back if you were able to load a lot of that DOS   
   stuff into high-memory or EMS... as in, allocate some EMS pages with EMM386   
   and SET DBOVREMS=Y.   
      
   JC> Also: pretty sure the 486-40 would have a tough time with windows. 3.0 mig   
   JC> work but thats not even a real multitasker.    
      
   Windows 3.1 or 3.11 for Workgroups (I forget)... should be better than 3.0.   
      
   Windows NT 3.5 or 4.0 should run in 8 megs of memory...
