OK, more questions. My boot disk uses DJGPP, which needs a DPMI provider. I also need to maximize the free conventional memory (winnt.exe uses a lot), so I also want to have an XMS (or is that HMA?) provider and a UMB provider.
At the moment, I am using himem.exe, umbpci.sys, and cwsdpmi. I have read that the customary UMB provider is emm386.exe, but for some reason it seems to be incompatible with cwsdpmi. (By the way, I am just throwing terms around here without really understanding most of them. DOS memory management is still largely a mystery to me.) Right. So here are my questions. First, is there some better combination of utilities I should use? Second, what am I losing, exactly, by using umbpci.sys instead of emm386.exe? And finally, how come cwsdpmi doesn't work with emm386.exe?
