BB> what does negative value mean? They are a fairly useless option, intended to compare MSDOS with 30 BUFFERS= with FreeDOS with *exactly* 30 BUFFERS=, to compare cache efficiency,... in all pratical situations, it make most sense to have DOS=HIGH,UMB BUFFERS=20 and all unused HMA is filled up with more BUFFERS (currently ~22), but could be reused by (not existing) HMA-TSR program. the difference between BUFFERS=20 and BUFFERS=30 is that more HMA is marked as *used* and no longer available to some theoretical other HMA allocating program. tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
