why do you rem out everything in autoexec.bat ?? why not LH it ?

don't forget that you are not using a real OS, but DOS !!!
in DOS you have to keep your "dos" memory clean.
DOS programs natively can only access 640 KB of RAM !
(do you see now why going from 8 to 32 MB RAM did not help ? :)
A looooooong time ago, I voted for a DJGPP compiled version of arachne, which
could access a flat memory model ... maybe after GPLing arachne, we get it ??
at least I hope so. (no more xswap errors, no more coffee while converting JPGs
or PNGs _OUTSIDE_ of core.exe ....)

499K is not enough

lh at the beginning of the line

if this stays resident LH infront of it

LH at the beginning !!!

if you need share (do you have an M$ LANMAN network ??) lh infront of it

why ?? but it doesn't matter anyways

toooooooooo high ... set it to 10
(as long as you use smartdrv or nwcache you don't need that many buffers)

do you need both ??
