Hi Sheldon
 CC>is a dos command to clear the memory without rebooting?
 CC>In some games I have to disable the cd rom to get more memory.
 SL> ...if you're stuck dropping the rom to get more mem,you havent
 SL> optimized the mem for each mode...it's rather
 SL> labor-intensive,actually,but it works...just set up the config and
 SL> autoexec for one mode at a time...run memmaker on it to optimize..and
 SL> then move the files to a directory...go to DOS and replace
 SL> them,then,with the .umb files created by memmaker and repeat the
 SL> process with dif options,chosen for your next configuration...repeat
 SL> this as many times as you have configurations to set...lastly,if you
 SL> have any games that prepare their own configs,do so ...then the time
 SL> consuming part begins...for each set of files,type in a config option
 SL> in the dosmenu of your bootfiles...remembering to run himem before
 SL> going to %config%...then you have the option to run emm386 with various
 SL> options as the first line of each %config% in the file...things like
 SL> mouse,rom,and sound drivers will likely always be placed at the same
 SL> address so LH should be most all you should need... ...to load smartdrv
 SL> high,you may need to vary options...just follow the dos mem
 SL> manager...it's not too bad at all,once practiced,you can work it quite
 SL> easily and well,with the satisfaction of telling people you have
 SL> mastered the arcane arts...heehee...
I'll give it a go on some weekend, and I'll
tell you how it went, if it blown up my computer
or not :)
