Hi, Vic. Normally, W95 will use all available UMB for its own purposes
once the system has booted. The VMM32 manager copies parts of itself
into W95 DOSboxes to speed up DOSbox operations.
While you can change this mode of operation for W95 dosboxes, it is not
generally recommended.
The customary solution to the above problem is to add the following to
the bottom of your 4DOS.INI file:
[Secondary]
UMBEnvironment=NO
UMBLoad=NO
The above changes will prevent secondary shells (any loads of 4dos
after the primary) from trying to claim UMBs for secondary copies of
the master environment or secondary copies of the 4DOS resident stub.
Your W95 Dosboxes should then quit sqawking...
