Hey, Folks;
Just a note, himen.sys and emm386.exe in DR-DOS are different
than in M$DOS. Only one or the other should be used, never load
both or there will be problems. Himem.sys is for i286 use and
emm386.exe is for i386 and i486 use. DR-DOS in it's memory
management setup, does allow you to set it so you get a choice,
when autoexec.bat loads, as to which you want to use. This is
right handy for experimenting and when using odd programs.
dosbook help in DR-DOS may be of help in ways to set these things.
