OK, hackers, help me out... I need to run a bunch of different non-windows applications using windows as a shell. --With MSWindows, version NON-386, level 2.10, OLD applications, what really ..happens for program-memory allocation? ----?? KB Required= _n_ or _640_ ----?? KB Desired= _-1_ or _0_ or _n_ ----?? Directly Modifies Screen= _yes_ or _no_ ----?? Screen Exchange= _none_ or other ----?? HIMEM.SYS used or not -- What is the order of precedence in determining what happens? -- What are valid combinations? -- What _does_ happen for each valid combination? And, miscellaneously, in WIN.INI, using Swapdisk=e: (no expanded mem), for Swapsize=, does it make any difference whether or not the _K_ is on the end? Is =2048 the same as =2048K? Does _anyone_ understand this process? ----- regardz, Ken

On a more general note, is there a book out there that fully documents Windows, or at least describes everything you can put in your Win.ini file? I once set up a computer with Windows/386 where windows had a lot of problems accessing the hard drive. Someone at MS vaguely suggested that I try putting the line virtualhdirq=off in the [win386] section. That did the trick, but wouldn't it have saved MS and myself a lot of time / expense if this was documented somewhere? Again, if someone knows of where I can buy this info, can he/she please post or email? Thanks. Milan. .
