Hi Steve,

Roxanne is right. DOS applications do automatically run in their own memory space, but you CAN change
the memory options for it. Create a short-cut to your DOS executable, then go to the Properties for
that short-cut. You should see tabs for Memory, Screen, etc. Under Memory, check the Protected box and
limit the amount of Extended memory to 8 MB or so - otherwise your application will grab whatever is available.
Play around with settings on the Misc tab, too.

Hope this helps,

Jody Cairns
