Use DOS=HIGH,UMB and then you can do away with LOADHI.SYS--use DEVICEHIGH
instead.  (And you can use LOADHIGH in AUTOEXEC.BAT as well.)

Extra savings can be gained by using QEMM's FILES.COM program and setting
FILES a little lower, say 10.  Unfortunately, the BUFFERS.COM program
doesn't work with DOS 5.0--even with Quarterdeck's update.  When it does,
you can get more memory savings.

I can report the same results from 386MAX--which has always worked with
DOS 5, even three betas ago.
