Are there any other reasons? You can put your buffers into expanded memory with the /X switch. That will free up some low RAM depending on how many BUFFERS you have in your CONFIG.SYS. Of course, you MUST have an EMM loaded first to do it. My manual says that buffers take up 528 bytes each. -- Marshall L.
