The troubles that this person reported in the original post are most 
likely due to the user running mostly 16bit apps on that nt system with 
32 megs of ram.  Working here with a somewhat date pentium 60 and only 16 
megs of ram at present.  Runs otay, till you load up a bunch of 16bit 
apps, then it thrashes to beat hell...

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
