- 349K?????
- You might want to reconfigure your DOS/Windows setup. My DOS boxes
- under Windows at home (sans network) are about 609K. At work (under
- Windows for Workgroups to a Lanman Server) I get, I think, 590K. And
- I know there's still some high memory left in both situations. If
- you're not using DOS 5, I recommend using it to get better results.
- If you are, try working with emm386 and loadhighs. You'll appreciate
- the little work it takes. (Actually, use Windows' emm386.)

- Michel.
