I'm doing experiments with my TSR's that allow them to use MUCH less memory than normal by putting parts of themselves into EMS or DPMS memory. Using these methods, it's possible to make even a really big, complicated TSR or device driver require only a few kB of Conventional or Upper Memory. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
