The DR-DOS EMM386 is somehow different from the MS-DOS one. It takes care of the high memory, too. It also can supply DPMI memory for djgpp programs (cwsdpmi not needed). It deals with that famous multitasking DRDOS can do. But it is slower than other EMM's and a bit unstable, too. Fortunately, DRDOS works well with MSDOS Himem.sys + EMM386.EXE and very well with QEMM, so consider them as an alternative Also, there's no need to load DPMS if you're not using Personal Netware. DPMS is used only by the Novell utilities. BTW i tried Personal Netware and I find it superior in every aspect to the peer-to-peer Microsoft Network. Better speed, better stability, better security (access rights on a per user basis). Too bad PN is not supported at all by Win9x. Cristian Burneci
