Re: [Freedos-devel] New HIMEM64 release

Upper value should be 4194303, which is (4G / 1024) - 1. Not tested nearly that high. what happens for a too high value: ignored, or set to that (4G/1024 -1) value? (basically same effect I guess..) so "/METHOD:" ties the disk you use HIMEM on in worst case to a single computer system. I wish I
