So what does that mean?  Why does windows make a huge file(1 
MEG) when in dos there is only a small file(50k).  I was 
thinking that under dos I actually have about 2 meg of 
extended memory when I run the program, but when I run windows 
I usually have maybe 800k extended memory.  I guess that under 
windows the entire memory space malloced is the page file, 
where under dos the memory malloced is actual memory.  Is that 
something like what you mean?
