Jason, and others...
The suggestion to use QEMM and memory management is
one method. The other is for those of us that still use MS DOS
version 6 or later...run Memmaker and get more conventional
memory in the first 640 kb available. Also, only load those
device drivers you really need, and if you have MS DOS 7 or
later use "devicehigh" rather than "device" commands to
load drivers via CONFIG.SYS and AUTHOEXEC.BAT.
