This is Frank again with a little more info.  Apparently, half of my
dos is loading high and half isn't.  As stated above, when I walk
through the bootup process, DOS=High and DOD=UMB are the first things
to load no matter what and this leave 45k of dos in conventional
memory and the most conventional memory I can get is 588k.  This time
when I walked through the bootup I said NO to Dos=high and dos=umb.
This left 81k of dos in conventional memory and left me with only
527k.  Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on with this
system?  Please help.
