DPMS.EXE is is proprietary Novell program with implementation of DPMS,

Thank you all. Below is a first cut to beat up on.
The box I am using for this has two floppies, a ZIP100, DVDROM\CDROM,
DVD W\CD W, two HDD; both plug in. All are functional under FD.
On the HDD that is plugged in for this exercise, C: drive currently

UMBs should only be used if you're desperate for memory. I don't trust them.

FILES=50? What a waste of RAM (unless you have an app that uses 50 file
handles)
As for buffers, FD will ignore that and fill leftover HMA with buffer
if anyone needs other examples (for multiple bootup menu entries for example),
see chapter V of the text documentation at http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9rc5/
which FreeDOS version are you using?

Here you are:
FDCONFIG.SYS (or just CONFIG.SYS)
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM64.EXE
DOS=HIGH
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
