Pine for Dos is known to be quite a (conventional) memory hog. My guess
is that nwcache is taking up a bit of conventional memory that pine needs.
And nwcache does take up more memory than smartdrv. Try loading nwcache
high, if you can do it and/or removing some other devices or TSRs from
memory. You could do a special lean boot, just to run pine.
little leeway
