HIMEM.SYS has to be in CONFIG.SYS

Use Program Manager funktion About Program Manager in the Help meny.
It vill state Windows mode and free memory and memory in use. Windows
finds your memory all by itself if HIMEM.SYS are installed. 

If you are using SMARTDRV.SYS HIMEM.SYS has to be installed first.

I think HIMEM.SYS is using 64k thats all.
