But as a follow-up question, what's the proper syntax for using "loadhigh" in conjunction with "install" in the config.sys (specifically for Fastopen)? The above suggested line works fine in my autoexec.bat, but when I try: install=command.com /c loadhigh c:\dos\fastopen.exe c:=(150,150) I get the boot-up message "Fastopen installed. Error in config.sys line 8" which is the above line. (I don't get the error when I remove that line). It *does* load fastopen into the UMB according to mem /c, but it's kind of irritating to get that error message every time I reboot. I've tried a few minor variations such as removing the extensions .com and .exe, removing the /c switch, and just doing a straight install=loadhigh c:\dos..., but they all give me outright errors and don't load Fastopen successfully. (Obviously I'm just going by trial and error, but I can't seem to find the answer in the manual :-) Can anyone see my mistake? - Ernest echuang@ocf.berkeley.edu
