Aaaaah, Glenn, so that's how you do it. I was sitting at home one day recently scratching my head trying to work out how McCorkle could use so much memory in a DOS box. I guess that is the Quarterdeck memory manager? On my spiffy new box, I have 128 MB of memory. DRDOS emm386 quietly just sees one half of that and sails on quite merrily. I tried to install Qualitas qemm386, but it bombs with a stack overflow when it sees that much memory. Funny, since the Qualitas Memory Tester quite happily tested all 128 MB (and took all day to do it). IIRC, MessyDOS also won't recognize more than 64 MB of memory, though I am not about to install it just to find out. So, I suppose I should amble over to ebay to find a copy of Quarterdeck memory manager...BUT, wait a minute, what the fsck am I going to do with all that memory in DOS anyhow? 128 MB is bigger than my DOS partition on the hard drive! Glenn, what DOS programs do you have that can use so much memory? -- Gregor Jones mailto:gjones AT bu DOT edu Boston MA
