My Thanks, Zyzzle! Do note that UIDE now permits up to 4-GIGABYTE caches
on all DOS systems if /P is not specified, by reserving XMS memory for its
cache tables. The changes I am proposing are ONLY for systems which must
use protected-mode. UIDE's 4-GB caching shall remain available for all!

Exactly my intent -- make UIDE work the BEST, either way -- and my Thanks
again!
