Sorry if this is a frequently asked or stupid/obvious question, but
what exactly does HIMEM.SYS do, and is it necessary?  I am running
Windows on a 386SX with 2MB RAM.  I am asking because I am trying to 
free up memory, and if HIMEM.SYS is not really needed, then I am
taking it out of my CONFIG.SYS.

Thanks in advance,
Robert Eger
