- Hmmmm, very interesting. I have just an idea. May be, that it is possible to
- incorporate a XMS-Driver into an EXE-File. Then SETUP would launch a kind of
- basic XMS-Driver. But this is only a theory!
- Addional irritating is, that I got the information, that the XMS-Driver is no
- longer needed after Windows came up and only Windows-App are running.
