I am tring to run Borland's Sidekick Plus and Paradox on the same machine, at
the same time.  In addition, the computer is attached to a Novell network,
which requires client software.  Needlaess to say, I am having problems.
The machine has 1M -- 640K conventional & 384K extended.  I have a program
to turn the extended into expanded, but that doesn't seem to make a difference
(I thought that Paradox might load some of itself there).  I heard that
Microsoft has something called himem.sys, but I don't know what this does,
or whether it would help.

Anyone have any ideas???  I don't think that I need all that much more memory --70-80K should do it (the resident size of Sidekick Plus is 75K, and without it
loaded, Paradox runs).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dan
