I have a 286-12 with one meg of memory.  Yet after I install
HIMEM.SYS, doing mem /c tells me I have only ~200K available XMS
memory -- somewhere in there I lost 100+ K of XMS memory.  Is this
normal with HIMEM.SYS?  IS there any way around it?  Are there any
upper memory managers that avoid this problem?
