It seems to work without it. Wolf, I went through a similar exercise last night. When I ran DOS 5.0 with QEMM and 4DOS using the UMB switch, I had 635K at the DOS prompt, but only 468K available for DESQview tasks. Taking the UMB switch out resulted in only 594K for DOS, but now a whopping 577K for DESQview tasks. I have since done away with the switch. - Jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."
