Greg,
I think you got confused between FAT16 and the memory limit of Zipslack
unzipping. It isn't FAT, it is because plain DOS usually only makes the 1st
640 kb of memory usable. As you discoverd, using a different unzipper, one
that can use the extwnded memory you have, you unzipped the file. You needed
to access all the RAM on the machine, so a utility such as CWSDPMI, will allow
programs that use more than the 640 kb conventional to map and use what they
need, whether it is FAT16 or FAT32...the latter refer to file systems on hard
disk drives, not RAM. Good luck!

I agree I should have read it all before I started....
But didn't you think I would have looked there when I first
started to have trouble?
And it still didn't tell me why it was impossible to install a
working package in a FAT16 environment on my computer.
But Ron Clarke managed to do it on his machine, and I can't work
out how!
The answers to these and other intriguing questions are *NOT* in
the FAQ.
So RTFM beforehand would *NOT* have helped, any more than it did
reading it after the fact.
So much for the mocking chortles from the sidelines, from those
who can't offer anything else in the way of help.
