Sorry if this is a frequently asked or stupid/obvious question, but what exactly does HIMEM.SYS do, and is it necessary? I am running Windows on a 386SX with 2MB RAM. I am asking because I am trying to free up memory, and if HIMEM.SYS is not really needed, then I am taking it out of my CONFIG.SYS. Thanks in advance, Robert Eger eger@nu.cs.fsu.edu
