My point is that at the time : I had no idea how to fix the problem from the Win95.5 side of things. Did you consider looking at documentation? The option to step through config.sys is not very hard to find. I'm sorry, your complaint still seems weak and contrived. I suppose you have never had to look at books, documentation, FAQs, etc... to get FreeBSD working? : Lets see, since Win95 has multitasking does it support paging or does : all the process' space needs to reside in memory? I believe each Win32 app receives 2G of virtual address space. : Does Win95 provide pre-emptive scheduling for 32bit applications? The Win32 apps are fully pre-emptive. Win16 apps do not pre-empt eachother though, compatibility problem. Tony -- ------------------ Tony Tribelli adtribelli@acm.org
