The best feature of 386^max is it allows you to map some of your "386 memory"
into any unused regions from A0000 to F0000 and change the DOS allocation
arena to put programs and data there.  I use it to load all my TSRs above
A0000.  Thus it allows you to push the "DOS 640K limit" to more like 700-800K.

Earlier versions had some problems loading network TSRs into high memory,
but these problems were remedied and I find it quite reliable.  (That is,
my machine crashes one or two orders of magnitude more often due to other
factors.)  It has now become an essential part of my (soon to be historic)
DOS programming environment.  As usual, speaking only for myself, I highly
recommend it.
