[comp.sys.ibm.pc] get dos to recognize > 640k memory

Has anybody know of any PD utility program that extends DOS memory
boundary over 640k? My computer has 1M of RAM and I need to run
Codeview and debug another application program. My application program
gives me a out of memory error since DOS only recognize 640k. I figure
I need another 50k of memory and it will be enough. Do anybody has a
solution to this problem?

I am really thankful for all the reply for my question. It seems
to me that emTeX is really better than sbTeX and dosTeX. I thank
I am going to give it a try. (But first I have to free up some
space from my disk....)

Also, my problem about getting above the 640k dos boundary seems
to have no solution. Several people suggested me to use the
extended memory and configure as expanded memory where codeview
can use to store stacks. I have obtained several programs from
simtel and they all have a common problem. It takes up too much
main memory that I don't have enough memory to load codeview and
my program together. I try to run another program which then puts the
expanded memory into dos, but the program doesn't work because of
the $A000 boundary. I guess the best way I can do is to upgrade
to DOS 4.0 or get a newer version of codeview. But I do
appreciate all the help and response I got. Thanks a lot.
