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... /* ----- */ /* Corey Brown (WB0RXQ): 20m, 15m, 2m(146.82) 70cm(443.65) */ /* AT&T NSD */ /* Alpharetta, Ga 30202 */ /* (404)750-8071 */ /* ----------------- */ /* att!alphlk!wcb | They're history in terms of the */ /* attmail!wcbrown | future!
