Documentation is in another file, "README.TXT." I was surprised (and generally pleased) that it handily loaded other drivers and environment into memory above 1 MB, and gets along fine with PC-Cache, WordPerfect, TC++ IDE, etc. There may be some advantages not listed previously to using a program like QEMM, but consider that EMM386.SYS is *very* competitively priced (it's free if you have DOS 4.01 :-) I have noticed one minor problem with it: The right-hand CTRL and ALT keys on my 101 keyboard are now "CTRL lock" and "ALT lock". Once I got used that "feature", it came in handy. (You unlock by pressing the left-hand corresponding key). -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Schmidt | #include Indiana University | /* They are _my_ thoughts, and you can't Graduate School of Business | have them, so there! */
