For a DOS program this it what counts. Only if you don't have programs requiring expanded memory (It seems to me you don't; it is very unlikely to meet such a program these days), try "FRAME=NONE" instead of "FRAME=AUTO" in the EMM386 line in config.sys. And DEVICE instead of DEVICEHIGH (I am not sure DEVICEHIGH works in this case). This should free up upper memory (at present it is cluttered by the EMS page frame). Then uncomment "DOS=HIGH,UMB". You'll certainly have more than 600k free conventional memory. Best regards Cristian
