ABSTRACT
While backed by IBM, the memory-resident APPC/PC program has met resistance from end users. It consumes 164 KB of RAM, which is too much for most PC users to spare. With only 640 KB of DOS-addressable memory, many users don't have enough RAM to run DOS, APPC/PC, and applications software on a network. This is not an issue for end users running OS/2, which can access up to 16MB of memory; however, only a small percentage of users in the PC environment are using OS/2.
