Greg, First of all, for some reason, as you can see, memmaker gets me 531K of DOS memory low, and QEMM will only come up with 475K after trying combinations with FIVE commas! (it took nearly an hour to work through them all). Even after QEMM was installed,the MEM command only reported 64MB, even though the memory check at boot shows 80. I don't know if its there or not but the word from Microsoft tech support was that DOS only sees 64MB. Even so, it seems that I should not be swaping to disk so excessively, even with complex constructions. Still baffled. Michael Hager
