I bought myself a nice little 486-33 a few months ago, spent three weeks
with my head in the DOS manual, and ended up with a nice system config.
with nearly everything in the High MEmory Area. Ok, good. The problem is,
for some completely unknown reason all the things that I was able to fit
in the HMA two months ago won't fit there now. Somehow I've managed to lose
about 4K or more HMA space. I don't know whether this is beacuse more space
has gone to the system stuff or because the system's actually finding less
memory up there or what. What determines the amount of space avail. when
you put DOS high, and how can you change it? All advice gratefully accepted.
