- Keep going. You need to use the OS/2-provided memory management
- files. These are located in \OS2\MDOS (e.g. HIMEM.SYS). Read up on
- specific DOS sessions in Appendix E of your Installation Guide and/or
- the online Command Reference under VMDISK.
-
- You should be able to get much more free conventional memory. That
- session can be controlled with the DOS Settings when you create a
- program object.
-
- Someone asked about LOADHIGH. I believe you simply use the DOS 5.0
- version (once you've used the OS/2-supplied memory management files).
