- assuming that you have 2MB (or more) or RAM, it is possible to get almost
- 700K of base memory {This figure was witnessed by a senior software
- engineer!}. QEMM386 will (reach for the manual):
-
- Load TSRs into high memory;
- Load files and buffers into high memory;
- Load DOS into high memory;
- provide all extra memory as Extended or Expanded (or in combinations)
-
- I saved 21K od base memory with my Mouse/Ansi Driver/Stacker 2/4dos giving
- me 623K of base memory!
