The logic that all DOS/4GW programs will be written to run within the limits 
of DOS/4GW runnning on raw DOS is sound.  I just wanted to prevent people 
misunderstanding George's post and mistakenly thinking that those limits 
apply to DOS/4GW programs running in a VDM on OS/2 where OS/2, not DOS/4GW, 
is the DPMI host.
