Has anyone out there in DOSland ever had a nagging MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR
CANNOT LOAD COMMAND, SYSTEM HALTED???  As I understand, it means that the
area of memory that DOS uses to track used/available memory has been corrupted,
but I've tried many different system configurations, including NO autoexec, and
no config, but I still get that damn message consistently with certain programs
(EXE & COM files) like Chessmaster 3000 when I try to shell-out to DOS and when
I load Norton's Scheduler TSR, among others.

Anybody have *any* helpful advice?  What the hek is going on?  Thanks in advance

Francis
