- There is no doubt that it is possible to get more memory in the DOS-
- sessions under os/2 than in the DOS-windows under Windows. Say, for
- example, that you want to have NFS client access as well as be
- connected to a Lan Manager Server. Under Windows, these drivers must
- be loaded in DOS, and take memory from DOS-sessions. NFS in particular
- is normally a memory hog. Under os/2, these drivers can be loaded in
- os/2, and take no memory whatsoever from the DOS-session.
