	I have DOS Merge 3.0 by Locus. It was distributed with
	DR DOS 6.0 (Lite?) from Univel. The problem I am having is
	the lack of memory below 640K. I can assign as much extended
	memory as I want to it but I can't seem to be able to free
	up more memory in the 0-640K area. I have DR DOS 6.0
	running native on another PC and I can get things to load
	hi, or move operating system buffers out of the 640K area
	which generally gives me about 622K available for DOS programs.

	How can I do this under DOS Merge?? Right now I have 503K
	available as reported by "mem" and thats not near enough 
	for many programs..

	Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
