Hi;

Whoops.  Hope you're using a fixed-width font.

For those with variable-width fonts, that should read "and BELOW the
(also..."

Now, I have a question for the Explorer cognoscenti -- I have this
problem.  (Hey, a *technical* problem.)  I have only 128MB in my PC.  I
am worried that I will run into Trouble not having enough physical
memory to put behind the virtual memory until I get the gc/microcode
stuff straight (I presume this is the Right Thing To Do).

I know the explorer address space is 128MB.  How much of this is "real"
gc-able RAM, and not NuBus (or other) mapped-in memory?

This is probably answered in the docs, isn't it?
