I am looking for a program (shareware or otherwise) to give me lots of 
available DOS RAM.  I need somewhere around 800+K available.  The catch
is that I cannot afford to lose my graphics modes.  I could sacrafice down
to cga, but I would prefer to use VGA, have full access to all modes, and
over 800K free on a 386 with 5 mb of ram.  I have heard that DOS 5.0 will
allow up to 620k of available ram, and I know quarterdeck's vidram will
allow somewhere in the 7's(if you sacrafice graphics).

My question is is this possible, am I wasting my time.  If it is possible 
let me know by sending me mail to the address below.
