Well, I don't know whether to address this to Kevin or Roland, so I'll choose
Roland.

Dear Roland,

It was very kind of you to reply to my post.  However, I must make two
corrections in what you wrote lest anyone think it should be emulated.

In article <1992Apr13.163247.26720@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> roland@turing.acs.virginia.edu (Kevin R. McGrail) writes:

The above line contains a discrepency: loading EMM386.EXE with RAM and NOEMS is
incompatible.  NOEMS allows you to utilize the UMB's without emulating Expanded
Memory.  Loading with RAM allows you to do both.  Therefore, EMM386.EXE should
be loaded with either RAM or NOEMS not both.  I use NOEMS since I let Windows
3.1 do my expanded memory management for me.

The mouse driver should be loaded from either config.sys or autoexec.bat, not
both.

Not really, but as I said, Thank you for caring enough to respond.

Do you have a name for this drink!  I personally like Nyquil, but can't seem
to get excited about your concoction.
