Sorry there is no DR-dos memmaker but with a few basic tips you can do
just as good yourself
First the basics in config.sys make sure you have noems and xmsumb on
your emm386 line, load buffers and file high, REM out or remove setver I
have never seen anything that needed it in my life! Make sure you are
loading all TSR's high too
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DPMI=ON FRAME=NONE /V /R=AUTO /XMSUMB
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\DPMS.EXE
REM DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\SETVER.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /P
BREAK=OFF
BUFFERSHIGH=40
FILESHIGH=40
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBSHIGH=4,4
HISTORY=ON,512,ON
COUNTRY=1,,C:\OPENDOS\COUNTRY.SYS
STACKS=9,256
DEVICEHIGH = C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROMDRV\ATAPICD.SYS /D:MSCD001
In your autoexec.bat make sure you are using DR-Dos's nwcdex and nwcache
in place of mscdex and smartdrive. again load everthing high!
LH C:\OPENDOS\NWCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001
LH C:\OPENDOS\NWCACHE.EXE /LEND=ON /MUX /BU=4
Load your mouse high too if it disent di it on its own, or better yet if
you run Windows then you dont need to load a dos mouse driver at all
every time you boot just load it up manualy if you need it for some DOS
program that you cant live with out a mouse.
