- I also use the same setup, though unfortunately do not do quite as
- good with conventional memory because of the size of the SuperStor
- driver (I upgraded to 2.0, which takes more memory). But 4DOS on my
- system takes only 262 bytes (!!! That's rights BYTES) of conventional
- memory. You should be able to do this with UMBLoad and UMBEnvironment
- set to yes. 4Dos sure is a great program!
