That error is one of those I used to see when I upgraded to
DOS 5. Haven't seen it since 'til this month when an old version
of MemoryMate (DeskMate version) refused to run on DR-DOS.
DR-DOS's fix for that error is to run loadfix.bat which is in your
DR-DOS directory. With DOS 5+ loadfix is an executable.

Check dosbook for proper usage. It didn't help out the MemoryMate
problem.
