While running with a basic OPENDOS autoexec & config.sys setup
[ie standard off of the installers] Windows 3.11 is loading fine.

However, after about two or three file calls by Word something
goes screwy and it thinks the drive is copy protected or full or
too many files are open.  Also Word starts producing temporary
files like crazy with no data in them.

	Now if I use a MS-dos boot disk and the himem.sys and
	emm386 in that comes with windows I have no problems.

	Does anyone know if the problem lies in the memory managers
	or is it something more fundamental? [I wonder because it
	looks like a file system problem, but it doesn't affect
	the notepad or MS-Write apperantly or even IE 3.02a..]

If it is the memory managers there is a simply work around.. if not
I think I'll take lilo and set it up so I can boot MS-DOS off of 
my second drive ... sure laugh... I spent two years booting dos off
of the D drive cause I was too lazy to fdisk /mbr the c: drive..
