Many device driver and similar programs seem to come in two forms: A TSR .com file and a .sys device driver to be placed in config.sys. I was wondering if someone would explain to me why they come in two flavors, and which is preferable. (Or if one is preferable for one use, and one for another, please elaborate.) And as long as I'm asking Naive Beginner Questions (tm), do people generally define their hard drives as many, few, or one logical drive, and why? Mike -- Michael S.
