this is the extract from FAQ on setting up dos system ( i think one
actually needs to set up things - i have tried to just boot in dos mode
(bypassing Win setup) and then rebuild the whole project - took 4 times

        * Use a memory manager to load DOS, TSRs and device drivers *HIGH*.

HUH?! - i mean i am not DOS person - but how, where and why?!
Perhaps there is someone out there who has the actual files (eg autoexec
and config already containing these actions?!)
