Has anyone out there ever used NETROOM from Helix?
Actually, has anybody used the ram-man program that comes with
it?  Even more specifically, the XLOAD program, too?

I just got it the other day and have been trying to get it to
load things into high memory.  If I want to put things in high
memory, then I need a switch like EMS=XXXX-YYYY or XMS=XXXX-YYYY.

Unfortunately, when I add any switches to the command line, 
Windows freezes the whole system upon startup or it will tell
me I need to remove some TSR's or free some memory in some way
before it will run.  At the time I run it, I have 550K free.

Anybody gotten it to work?  I'm not thrilled with calling out to
New York on their non-800 support number.

I am running a 25MHz Gateway 2000 (Micronics motherboard, non-cached)
with ATI VGA Wonder, 4Megs of memory, and no network.

(I know, why did I buy Netroom!  It costs less than the other memory
managers and does what I wanted it to do, though I haven't figured
out how yet!)
