-
- Telling NT to use separate address spaces is only for the 16 bit
- Windows 3.1 subsystem. If you run a 32 bit app, NT doesn't give you
- that option because it automatically runs it in it's own memory space.

-
- Programs that can kill NT eh? I'd like to see one, if you could let
- me know where to find it...I have yet to crash NT.

- Neither is NT with multiple 16 bit Windows 3.1 apps...
