Hello!

I hope this will be of some help to you, there is a peice of public domain
software out there called "EMS40.sys".  It isn't very big and it comes with
simple instructions on how to use it.  All you do is put it into your
config.sys file (for an IBM compatible machine only) and it maps your high
memory, the part above 640K.  If you are unable to locate this file.  There
are quite a few others out there that you can buy and you use pretty much the
same way.  One such program is put out by Microsoft called "HIMEM".

Good Luck and I hope this helped!

Greg
