The amount of conventional memory you get in each DOS session is slightly less than what you have just before you start Windows. So, if you can load as much TSRs (keyboard enhancer, disk cache, mouse driver etc. etc.) into high memory as possible before starting Windows you get more conventional memory for each DOS session you open under Windows. > As asked before, what do you get that you wouldn't get running with just > himem.sys and win /3 ?????
