    I invested in Partition Magic 5.0 and with a certain amount of
trepidation partitioned my hard disk.  I created a primary FAT16
partition and installed DR-DOS 7.03 on it and also created a FAT16
logical partition which both DR-DOS and Windoozy 98 can use, so I can
pass some files back and forth.  (Yes, I realize that I have to be
careful to use only 8.3 paths and filenames so that 'doozy doesn't 
mess it up.  However, I have reasons for keeping 'doozy 98 around.)

    So far everything seems to be working, and I will be reading the
DOSBOOK to learn the new bells and whistles over the MS-DOS (5.0) I
used to use before I upgraded and decided that I don't much like 'doozy
98.  However, there is one thing I have already looked for and have not
found.  My machine has 128MB RAM installed, and 'doozy recognizes all of
it.  However, when I boot DR-DOS, the MEM command only reports on 64MB. 
Is this a limitation of DR-DOS?

    Thanks.
