 SMARTDRV DOCUMENTATION 
 ---------------------- 
 Description 
 ----------- 
 SMARTDRV.SYS is a disk-caching program for computers that have a hard 
 disk and extended or expanded memory. For SMARTDRV to operate 
 correctly, the current version of HIMEM must be installed. 
 Usage 
 ----- 
    DEVICE=[d:][path]SMARTDRV.SYS [size][/a] 
 <size> is the amount of memory you want SMARTDRV to have. The default 
 is 256K of extended memory or all of expanded memory. 
 The /a switch is used when you have expanded memory or an expanded 
 memory emulator. If you omit this switch, SMARTDRV uses extended 
 memory.
