Yes, there is. For 286-based machines. > But it is slower than other EMM's and a bit unstable, too. If you have exotic (or very modern) hardware and/or drivers, you need sometimes fiddle a bit with configuration. But on a standard 386 or 486 PC there should be no problems. > Also, there's no need to load DPMS if you're not using Personal Netware. > DPMS is used only by the Novell utilities. NWCACHE and NWCDEX (disk cache and CD-ROM redirector) both use (although do not require) DPMS on 286 and above. It allows to reduce their conventional memory usage -- significant parts of these programs are then loaded into extended memory and execute in protected mode. Greetings, Michal
