Hello Bart:
Thanks a million for the CONFIG.SYS and the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Because of
your example files on how one can maximize memory when running a WIN95
machine in DOS mode I was able to simply turn on my computer and select
DOS from the start-up menu and find 630K bytes free memory, and this
even after loading my mouse driver and my CD-ROM driver! Fantastic!
I was even able to install and run Arachne version 1.70 on my WIN95 machine
with no problem. Of course I modified and customized the files you sent me
to fit my own requirements. I retained the Dutch language message echoed
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT to keep as a reminder of the person who sent this
gift to us.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
