I just purchased DR DOS 5.0 and installed it on my hard disk.  I'm seeing
what looks like some discrepancies between chkdsk and mem about how
much memory I have available.

chkdsk (and PC TOOLS) say I have ~590KB available.

mem says I have ~613KB.

Which one is more "accurate"??

Anyone seen anything similar on their systems??
Thanks in advance.

      Ok -- so its not the best signature line.  I'M WORKING ON IT!
