Marion, No, I didn't try that option since I almost need the virtual Janus drives to have enough room to use some of these monster applications. The real harddrives for my 386 bridgeboard (BB) are the two 20Meg drives on my hardcard. SStor from Addstor has already been used on my D: drive just to hold WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS and Microsoft FORTRAN 5.1. There isn't really any more room if I also want work space. Another reason for learning the way upper memory is used or abused is that the SSDIR command with SSTOR will crash the system. The SSTOR and SSTUTIL utilities seem to work fine so SSDIR malfunction is not really a loss, just annoying (I simply don't use it!) since the main utilities give me the same information and more. I guess SSDIR indiscriminately uses upper memory buffers and trashes some Janus interface areas that I need to have the memory manager (if I could get it loaded and working) mark as off-limits. If you wish to say something about data compression in your newsletter sometime, feel free to use my comments on which I'll be happy to elaborate if needed. Getting PC memory setup correctly can be a real art! Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless' from the Rocket City! via AutoPilot 1.03a
