THE MAN WHO performed a shrinking trick on previous versions of Windows claims today that he's reduced Win95 to under 10MB.

Windows 95, he says, works in real (safe) mode and doesn't require the registry but simply SYSTEM.INI.

Nor, he says, does it need a swap file to run and it can be run from a RAMdisk using a free utility.

He claims that the 10MB version of Windows 9X will support multiple MS DOS Windows, and he claims that it can be shrunk even further.

Applications for this small version of Windows could be useful for car management systems and MP3 players, he said.
