I upgraded himem.sys, smartdrv.exe and MSD before I ever discovered
Charles site which has all these upgrades and far more.

Been there, done that all but the highlight and more.
Thamks for the tip.

I'm beginning to like 98  but it'll be a long time till I get
the desktop to my tastes and the extra unneeded crud deleted.
Got telnet, OLR two browsers and mail to my tastes but it'll
be a few days until I get Linux over here.
I still need to learn a _lot_ about hidden files at the end of the drive
before I use FIPS version 2.0 to split my partition.
