-
- Yes. There are two settings in the DOS box: DOS_HIGH, and DOS_UMB.
- Set them to "yes". You might also want to locate the DOS= line in
- CONFIG.SYS, and be sure it is set to HIGH,UMB.
-
- You don't have to include any HIMEM.SYS or EMM386.SYS drivers. The
- DOS emulator handles all that.
-
- This being done, DOS will load into the HMA, and LOADHIGH should work.

-
- Then use the system settings instead of the DOS= line.
-
- If you're using a specific DOS session (image file boot), then after
- loading FSFILTER.SYS, you should have a DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\HIMEM.SYS
- line. This is in addition to the DOS settings. Note that this driver
- is only required for specific-DOS sessions.
