If you omit "-applzone" under DOS, Executor sees how much
extended/DPMI memory you have free and tries to guess a good applzone
for you. If it doesn't see much free memory, it will guess no less
than "-applzone 1024" (1M). One megabyte of RAM isn't enough for some
programs (especially color programs) to function properly.
