- Has anyone else had trouble using 386MAX's MAXIMIZE program while 4DOS
- 4.01 is loaded? When MAXIMIZE does the Phase 1 reboot, and then tries
- to run the BATPROC program, BATPROC fails with an "Out of Memory"
- error. It only works if I disable 4DOS and use COMMAND.COM, run
- MAXIMIZE, and then reenable 4DOS. The problem is, 4DOS takes up some
- space in upper memory, so it messes up all the tuning that MAXIMIZE
- just did. This isn't a big problem, as it only costs me about 10K of
- memory right now, but it's kind of a pain. I've checked all the
- 386MAX and 4DOS documentation, but I can't find any mention of this
- problem. (In fact, the 4DOS docs go so far as to recommend 386MAX as
- a good memory manager, but do not mention this problem).

- Thanks,
