The best way to load DRMOUSE is to *not* try to load it
high. Install (run) it in conventional (lower) memory and it
will load it's resident portion high, all by it's clever little self.
That way, you just need about 7K (IIRC) free in the HMA
to load it high, nothing extra for the initialization code ...

Given that DPMS has been mentioned a few times
recently (wrt. NWCACHE and NWCDEX), it reminds me
that we have not come to a conclusion about the
following (discussed several weeks ago) :

1. We established that the versions of DPMS.EXE that
   could be freely distributed with client programs were
   the OpenDOS 7.01 and the Novell DOS versions. So,
   which is the best of these two versions to use?

2. Is there any problem (ie. bug) that we need to be
   aware of, for whichever is the best version selected
   above? (Sure - we ourselves would normally use a
   later version (eg. from DR-DOS 7.02+/7.03), but
   these cannot be freely distributed ...)
   
Joe.
