I read that you can run memmaker which will give you even more memory
for dos sessions but five files were needed, two nowhere to be found.
namely
chkstate
sizer
Have you seen them, or know where they are to be found?  Have looked on
the win95 disk and in my dos/windows directories on a computer with
win3.11.
The other three required were emm386, himem and memmaker.

Cheers
