                                 WINDOWS

Purpose:    Sets the system compatibility level when working with
            MS-Windows.

Syntax:     WINDOWS <ON|OFF|STANDARD|286|ENHANCED|386> [/V:version]
            Where 'version' sets the Windows version number, e.g., 3.0
            or 3.1

By default: WINDOWS ON /V:3.0

Note:
     MS-WIndows requires additional DOS code and system data located in the
lower areas of the memory, depending on its version and mode
(real/standard/enhanced). To achieve the best results, both mode and version
number should be specified. For example:

 WINDOWS STANDARD           Assumes that MS-WINDOWS 3.0 is to be used in
 WINDOWS STANDARD /V:3.0    standard mode.

     STANDARD and 286 are synonyms, just as the ENHANCED and 386.

 WINDOWS 286 /V:3.1     MS-Windows 3.1 in standard mode
 WINDOWS 386 /V:3.0     MS-Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode

     WINDOWS=ON assumes the version is 3.0 with the mode set maximum
according to the type of processor used. For the 286-class machines, it is
STANDARD, while for 386 and up - ENHANCED. It is not recommended to use the
SYSGEN command together with the WINDOWS command, as the system generation
may be incompatible with that required by MS-Windows. WINA20.386 (a driver
supplied with the system) is required for running MS-Windows 3.0 in the
enhanced mode (see the VXD command description).
