Implying that Virstop cannot?!  Virstop can be loaded high, and then
requires no conventional memory.
 
And still, VSHIELD will use more high memory that Virstop, reducing the
number of other things you can have loaded high simultaneously.
Even with loadhigh in DOS 5.0, smaller is still better when it
comes to memory-resident programs.
