Help!
I have been having a lot of memory problems lately.
Having a mere 40 meg HD, I have recently done my best to 
transfer everything I own to Floppies that does not need 
to be on the drive, and zippng some files that I dont use daily.
This included taking some of my window apps and even storing them on 
floppies.  BUT:

It didnt work!  Believe it or not, It still says I have only 385K 
of memory available, in both windows and dos.
it tells me 41.8M total, 385 available.
yet, in doing a directory by directory manual
addition of used memory, I only come up with 27.3M in use!!!
What the hell happened to my other 14 megs?
Any help is greatly appreciated.


Derek
