To get more memory when shelling to MS-DOS, use a program called
"Shroom" - Short for "Shell Room".
Waffle BBS folks swear by it.
It shells the program you are using out to disk or memory, and gives
you the greatest possible memory in that situation.
Ask on comp.bbs.waffle for the place to find it.
(It also works great with programs like Deskmate, compilers, and
every other program that shells to DOS).
