OK, I will admit ignorance here, what does the /f:16 switch do and does this
mean I have to re-install? And what would a hole in my memory do, or is it
there to dump all my MS problems into :-)

It's showing 129,127kb at the mo, that about 126Mb, so windows can see it
but the apps can't, most odd.
Just thought, unless they are looking at it at the DOS level, in which case
surely they will see that Windows has hogged all available memory and only
see the 1Mb that MEM is reporting in a DOS box! How do I tell windows to
leave 4meg alone for DOS apps?
