+ 
+ Description:
+ 	The Sun PC-NFS 3.5 Installation Guide notes (on page 83) that
+ 	". . .the OPTIMIZE program cannot complete its steps if the
+ 	SOCKDRV.SYS program was loadsed into high memory with the LOADHI
+ 	command."  It fails to note that the same is true of NFSVEC.SYS.
+ 
+ Repeat-By:
+ 	Noting the difference between what happens if you use
+ 		device=qemm\qemm.sys ram aram=c000-c3ff
+ 		device=nfs\pcnfs.sys
+ 		device=nfs\sockdrv.sys
+ 		device=drivers\vec523.sys
+ 		device=nfs\nfsvec.sys
+ 		lastdrive=v
+ 	as your CONFIG.SYS file (it works) and what happens if you use
+ 		device=qemm\qemm.sys ram aram=c000-c3ff
+ 		device=nfs\pcnfs.sys
+ 		device=nfs\sockdrv.sys
+ 		device=drivers\vec523.sys
+ 		device=qemm\loadhi.sys nfs\nfsvec.sys
+ 		lastdrive=v
+ 	(it fails--in particular, you can
+ 		prt *
+ 	but then if you try, for example, to
+ 		net nisdomain YP.nci.nih.gov
+ 	your computer will hang).
