Can you tell me more about the "art"? Is it the
thrill of provably being able to run in less
than 640k?

Or is it 16-bit?

How would you feel about running in PM16, still being
able to do INT 21h, but having more than 640k of
memory available, and also your application runs in
kernel mode.

It should then be identical to RM16, shouldn't it,
except you have more memory?

But if low memory is the attraction, that is useless.

Are you interested in going lower, e.g. programming
the C64? What about the 68000 Amiga 500? It came with
512k memory from memory.

BFN. Paul.
