They can be in the HMA unlike the SFTs (like Tom said). > > I think (am not 100% sure though) we have beaten both MSDOS and DRDOS > > (without QEMM) in that respect then. > > MS-DOS 7.1 has 645728 bytes free (the kernel occupies 9632 bytes) and > PC-DOS 7.1 has 645952 bytes free (the kernel occupies 9408 bytes). So > we've come very close, but haven't beaten them. yes, but what's important is how much we really have free. DRDOS also has less kernel bytes but there was no way I could convince it to put command.com (even 4dos) completely in a UMB... (unlike our shellhigh).

For my simpler floppy configuration, it > doesn't load HIMEM64.EXE without even showing an error! ok, please note the simplest configuration (config.sys contents, the HIMEM64 version you use (size in bytes as well)) -- and try with a Watcom compiled kernel just to make sure I can reproduce.
