Hi there!

Now I want to know the final answer (just before Dos 5.0 arrives).

Are there such PD programs to load device drivers or TSR into
expanded memory or not? Is there such a thing as LOADTSR?
We have a translator package for WP which installs itself
into normal memory, but with the network already loaded, there
isn't enough memory for WP to work, not even with the /w options.
The translator program can't do anything with higher memory, it
just sits there waiting for a 'Alt'+'space' hotkey.
Now I want to know if it is possible to load the network software
(Banyan-Vines 4.02) or other drivers into some higher up memory?
My computer is equipped with some usefull and some unusefull
drivers like those for ftp sessions and to print on a colourprinter.

So there it is, I am sure I'm not the only one having these problems.
If someone could hint me on some solutions I would be very thankfull!
Thanx for reading this!
