Tom – you should download two files from the forum's data libraries. First of
all, go to Lib 6 "Opsystms/Networks" and download a file called DOS5.TXT.
This is Autodesk's official position paper on running AutoCAD under DOS 5.0.
Reading it, you'll find mention of a file called NEWDX.EXE. Use this program
to update the Phar Lap DOS Extender that's built into ACAD.EXE to make it XMS
— and HIMEM — compatible. NEWDX.EXE is stored in a zipped archive file
called NEWDX.ZIP and can be downloaded from Lib 10 "Utilities".
If you have Release 11c2 (and you should), you already have NEWDX.EXE on one
of the diskettes.
