[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Want Smaller NEAT EMS Driver

joel@peora.ccur.com (Joel Upchurch) (07/29/90)

The EMS driver that comes with my computer takes up 22,592 bytes,
which seems excessive. I was wondering if there is a later version
of this driver that takes up less memory.

The version I have say this when it comes up:

NEAT Expanded Memory Manager 4.0
Version 1.52

When I peeked through the binary file I also saw these messages:

Copyright Chips Technologies Inc. 1988
Evaluation Copy only not for resale or distribution

This doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling either. I hope someone
can tell me how to get a newer and smaller version of this program.

I have 4.1.5D, its size is 22384 so it is smaller :-)
You made me curious, so I commented it out, comparing memory size
with chkdsk before and after.  489984 vs 520752.  Sheesh.

-Joel, if you want the new one, let me know.
