Hello,

As most people eventually face, I'm finding that many of my programs won't
run on my pc because of the 640k limitation of DOS.  Of course, I've been
playing games of rebooting with a downsized autoexec.bat file (to remove
stuff that I don't need), but find this a pain.  One of my applications
will not run properly even when I strip everything out to the bare minimum.

I've heard of software that will utilize the higher memory available and
move stuff there (I have 8 megs used mainly for Windows 3.0 when I run it).

Could anybody out there summarize to me what software is the best to use,
and other things I should be aware of.   I've heard that Quarterdeck has some
good software to do this (Deskview?).   BTW, I have a 386-33 machine with
8 megs and am running MS-DOS 4.01.  Thanks.
