I have been intrigued by the version of MEM included by the OpenDOS v7.01 
release.  I was playing with ansi.sys (actually zansi.sys to be specific) 
and I noticed that while it was not being shown by MEM /A /P to be 
anywhere in memory (it was supposed to be loading high), when I booted 
without loading it, my total free conventional memory went down about 
5k.  Is this a bug in mem?  Anyways, I do not like how MEM is very 
confusing in what it displays to the user.  It likes to hide some drivers 
that are loaded while displaying others.  Also, when I boot up, a little 
Geni inside my computer is apparently selecting which of my loading 
instructions to follow because it sometimes loads things where I tell it 
too and sometimes doesn't.  Anyways, just wondering if anyone had any 
thoughts?
