Information needed:

1. Version of DR-DOS ?  OpenDos, DR-DOS file dates.

2. What computer, BIOS, CPU,etc.

3. Do you have 386Max as an option??

4.  Does MEM report XMS working ???

5.  What is your exact command line for EMM386.EXE.
     -actually what is in config.sys and autoexec.bat.

I just changed my 386-40 to use EMS=AUTO and it delivered 11,504K of EMS with
16Meg memory in the system. (DR-DOS 7.02 4-24-98)
