But Allaire will let you 'downgrade' to 2.5 if you call their support
folks. This was the solution I came up with.

Resource problems in win95 usually have nothing to do with how much ram you
have. I also have 128 megs ram on my box (running as a dual boot
win95/winNT). Under 95 I am constantly battling to keep from running out of
resources. (GDI vs System vs User gives you 3 different types of resources
to use up.) Under NT I *never* run out of resources no matter how many
programs I've had open. I think the resource limitations may have something
to do with the number of graphical widgets.
But I do agree that Allaire should be programming towards making their
software use less resources rather than suggesting that I change my
operating system.
