It doesn't have to be necessarily the last program, but only the last program
that chains into the interrupt.
But if it IS the last program in autoexec.bat, than no other program can chain
into the ints. ... so this works for sure :)

 SH> I didn't know it was possible to load NWCACHE high
Generally 98% of the TSRs CAN be loaded high.
So simply try ...

NWCAche (the one which came with drdos) can also use DPMS ...
and than it needs EXTREMELY few memory.
(you have to load dpms LOW ... this one can't be loaded high, but it takes
only around 2 KB)
IMHO nwcache has also the option to use UMBs by itself ... without LH.
