>Where is SHARE?  SHARE should be loaded, especially if using SSTOR

 DR DOS does not require SHARE for large volumes.  It only exists because
some programs, expecting the brain dead MS DOS 4.0, check to be sure
that SHARE is loaded.  DR DOS' SHARE is only needed if you're using
a multitasker or task switcher (or network), which we don't know.

  You might want to know that kmcvay@zoo is a bogus address, according to
the mailer at CUNYVM, and so is kmcvay@zoo.bitnet.

  You need to load EMM36 explicitly, by including it in the CONFIG.SYS, 
or alternatively USE that QEMM program you have commented out, by
using the installer program that comes with either.  QEMM is supposed
to be better, but I've never tried it, and DR DOS' memory manager works
very well indeed for me.  (I have 636K of memory available for programs,
after I load two TSRs).
