 Hi Gary,
   You're right about getting robbed of memory. There is a bug in
 Win95's OSR2 that dumps everything back into low memory whenever it
 shells out to DOS. It doesn't matter what you have in config.sys; it
 just ignores it. So my only option would seem to be booting into DOS,
 but Duke keeps telling me I don't have enough memory to run it. I
 don't understand this, as MEM /C shows that I have 645k of free
 conventional mem., & total free mem. of almost 390mb! Yet, Duke still
 says I need over 2mb more free memory. I give up!!
 Mike.
