You can get HIMEM206.SYS via anonymous FTP from Simtel20 in the directory PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL> It is described as Himem.sys - REVISED because Microsoft saw fit to change it at least once without incrementing the version number for some unknown reason. (Simtel20 is: wsmr-simtel20.army.mil 26.2.0.74, there are also some Windows related files there in PD1:<msdos.mswindows>) Dave Gobran UMass/Amherst gobran@umaecs or gobran@ecs.umass.edu
