Memmaker sucks.  I tried using it under 6.22 when I had it, and it
took some memory away.  The best way to maximize memory for your
system, without third-party solutions, is to go through your system
files, line by line, and change them around, rebooting and doing a
memory check to see what is the most effective.  Also, do a little
homework.  Can you add a devicehigh line here or there.  Is there a
switch himem.sys or emm386 that can help you out?  A little homework
will give you the greatest amount of memory.  I repeat, MEMMAKER
sucks.  Delete it and save yourself some space.
