Actually it loads in two chucks. With QEMM I found it can load with 65000
bytes (probably less if I experimented more but was satified with that
amount.)

I downloaded the program and will check it out sometime, but if it takes 900
bytes of conventional memory, I won't need it until I use QEMM or something
else that does not let it all load into UMB and extended memory. I can get
by with 112 bytes in an area I can't use anyway. (At least at this time I
cannot.)

I'll give this a shot.
Is there a way to turn Y2K back on after QEMM is installed and not interfere
with anything? I want to play around with DVX. 2.,0. I had a bad disk with
v1.03 and never did get to play with it.
