Good someone brought this up.  Have IBM dos v6.1 which has a ramboost
feature.  Upon startup it rearranges and frees memory (believe it recaptures
video mode space in high memory).  When done supposedly has 735K free
memory.  Does anyone know if this is a real mem boost or a trick to show
more memory?  Perhaps additional mem reverts to previous after using apps?
If not should be a better mem manager.
