[WEB4LIB] browser problem

[TMGB]

Besides the already mentioned possible solutions, you may want to find a
program the allocates and releases memory better than win 3.1 does on
its own accord.  I seem to recall just before win 95 came out that there
was some news about the memory handling problems with win 3.1 and
"newer" programs.  Moremem, I believe was one of the better memory
handlers and you might be able to find it at one of the tucows sites,
zdnet, Cnet or other software download site.  Most of them are probably
30 day trials to be removed on your own responsibility.

Windows 95 is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit patch for an 8-bit
operating system that was originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor.
