His config.sys and autoexec.bat will absolutelly be of some help, but I
think there are more to it. Baastian must comment this himself, but this is
what I believe he is doing:
He is running a Win95 machine, but it is haltet before the 'start' by
loading and running Norton Commander. I think he is starting all his
DOS-programs from NC. (He wrote that he leaves DOS by leving NC, and then
his machine goes on entering Windows95.) If this is true, NC is stealing
some of his memory.
So why not start proper up in DOS (something like BOOTGUI=0 -- I don't
remember how or where it is done in W95, but someone else on the list will
know what I mean -- please response).
BTW: I also believe he is missing a TEMP-directory.
