- If you get a Windows-generated out of memory error, it means that the
- app has used up the memory allocated to the DOS session that WIN-OS2
- is running in. Try increasing the XMS and DPMI memory for the WIN-OS2
- session. Note that for seamless windows, the first app launched
- decides the settings for all other seamless apps that aren't in their
- own sessions.

- WIN-OS2 memory sizes or a Kernel bug.
