Subject: Re: Running DOS programs
1. in autoexec.bat put ":" or "rem" ( without the quotes ) in front of
every un-necessary feature.
-this frees up low memory
2. then in config.sys put "DEVICEHIGH" ( without the quotes ) everywhere
you have the word "DEVICE".
-this puts everything in high memory freeing up more low memory for your
DOS program(s)
3. cold reboot.
4. run your DOS program from the ( c:\ ) prompt.
good luck/ i hope this helps :)
