FWIW, I have MSCDEX loaded high (with QEMM 6.02) and it takes up 45k once
loaded.
my AUTOEXEC line goes:
c:\qemm\loadhi /r:1 c:\sbpro\drv\mscdex.exe /v /d:mscd001 /m:15
the /r:1 tells QEMM to load it into the first region of UMBs (I think). I
used the OPTIMIZE program that came with QEMM, then tinkered with the result

Hi
FWIW, using qemm 6.01 I have the line down as c:\q\loadhi r:2 c:\w\mscdex.exe
/s /d:mscd001 /m:10 /e
please note the /e switch at the end. If you use QEMM, it will allocate EMS or
XMS space as required. With ten buffers (/M:10), you get the most out of your
CD-ROM, but the 20Kb (10x2kb) memory is not taken up in UMB or low memory but
in EMS. This way mscdex.exe takes only 15Kb in the UMBs.
In your case you'd dump 30Kb in EMS.

Hi Peter,
with the setup I have using QEMM 6.02 I have 623,600 bytes in a DOS window.
(Its 629,xxx in raw DOS I think)
So will I really get an extra 30k?
