In the PC-DOS5.00 User's Guide and Reference, under the commands
reference section for DEVICEHIGH (chap14, p452) under the Notes
under Installing Instaling HIMEM.SYS and a UMB provider, it states:
"Before you can load a device driver into the upper memory area, you
must use the device command once to install the HIMEM.SYS device
driver and then again to install an UMB provider. ... On some
computers, you might even be able touse HIMEM.SYS itself as a UMB
provider."

This lead me to think it meant to load HIMEM.SYS twice, but of course,
it didn't work. I heard that I need something like QRAM or Move'em
to provide such (UMB) services. Is there anything public domain to
use that will work? Thanks in advance.
