I have three big questions to ask: 1. I have a Zenith Z-248-12 (12 MHz AT compatible) running MS Windows/286 v2.11. I currently have 6 Mb of memory in my machine. What I'd like to know is, what is the best way to configure my memory for Windows? Using my Zenith's built in setup utilities, I can change my memory from expanded (EMS) to extended in a number of different configurations. 2. Is there some kind of applications manager for Windows? What I mean by this is a window with a list of applications I can choose from. I'm a lazy person when it comes to navigating my directory tree to start my programs and this would be ideal. 3. Is there a way to load a bitmap (or other format) image to be my background in Windows? Although the number of colors (true, dithered, and otherwise) for the background is quite extensive, a background image just adds that little bit of uniqueness. And now for some addenda I thought of while typing: 1. Is there a way to use MS Windows as an X-Windows client? I regularly use the Sun workstations here at college and it would be great if I could work in a multiple windowed environment. (I know about screen, but I'd like my windows to be visible all at once). 2. What terminal emulators are available for Windows that will run as a Windows window (say that 10 times fast with a hamburger in your mouth!)? I'd be especially interested in the following: VT-100, VT-220, TEK-4010. Thanks in advance for any and all information. -- Thank you and happy hunting! Actually: Ethan M.
