Yes it is a pain, but you will have to manually configure and optimise the memory under W95 to clear up as much base memory as possible. W95 makes no attempt to optimise base memmory. Load things high just like in DOS, and you should end up with 128+ Green after Arachne has loaded. It will be FB after that OM. Actually 1.70 r3 was 133 Kb free 1.71's core must be a tiny bit bigger, (Blaim my screensaver mod) I'm kidding Glenn 8-) 73 DE G0LLP Laurie -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
