Hello Klaus,

 KM> As I told before in a message that went unacknowledged,

I've just replied to your other msg Klaus. Both of msgs arrived yesterday but I
was unable to reply immediately.

 KM> WIN 3.1x _and_ WIN 95/98 _must_ have an System.ini entry in section
 KM> [386ENH] that reads LocalLoadHigh=1 in order to provide UMBs to a
 KM> DOS session. Simply add that line and reboot.

As mentioned in my previous msg, I assumed that was a win95 only thing as I
tried it on this wfwg system and it stopped windows from running!

 KM> One hitch: there must be free UMB mem before WIN starts to provide
 KM> some later...

Yes there is, it will be created by Qemm.  Although it can't be seen by opening
a 4DOS prompt from within win95 as by that time it's too late, vmm32 has grabbed
the lot.

Thanx again Klaus.

Rgds, Vic
