- As long as we are suggesting software, try OS/2 v2.0. It is cheaper
- than Bluemax and, on my computer, gives 622,736 free RAM at a DOS prompt
- without any tweaking. If the program does not require graphics, you can
- get 720,784 free RAM with one tweak. You can get even more memory if
- you go through the trouble of loading DOS high (you can load device
- drivers high, as well) but for me it is not worth the trouble.
