Re: SRAM on Poqet

["Bill Moy" <billmoy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anthony,

I was using Windows3.0 on the Poqet, but because of you, I am now a fan of
Windows2.03 because of it's super quick boot-up time.  I, however, work only
with Excel2.2 which is still an amazing program loaded with features.
Perhaps you might gain some speed by running Word for Windows v1 via
Windows2.03, or, Windows3.0 but use WFW as its shell (to increase memory.)
You can do this by editing one of the .ini files where "shell=" is
ound.  -Bill
