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?
