	You can get HIMEM206.SYS via anonymous FTP from Simtel20 in the
directory  PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL>  It is described as Himem.sys - REVISED
because Microsoft saw fit to change it at least once without incrementing
the version number for some unknown reason.
	(Simtel20 is:  wsmr-simtel20.army.mil   26.2.0.74,  there are also
some Windows related files there in  PD1:<msdos.mswindows>)
