Pretty strange and curious! How big was your program? But actually I want to know if it used that much extended memory or expended memory. Windows first versions for sure used DOS 7.0, later I don't know. We had even for some time DOS 7 from other company but this big company never came with upgrade. This last DOS was done probably more to impress the public that for real desire to be new system company. Leonid.
