So, is there?
I'd dearly love to be able to throw my various TSRs and mouse software
and whatnot (especially the whatnot!) up into high memory, so I wouldn't need
to play memory games to run stuff like Ventura...
Does Quarterdeck make a version of 286s?? Is it as potent as the
driver I just installed on every '386 at work?

Is it as potent as the >driver I just installed on every '386 at work? Quarterdeck makes Qram, a loadhi utility for 286s. It will load device drivers, tsrs, and dos files and buffers into umbs (memory above 640k and below 1m). As an alternative, Qualitas makes Move'EM, which is similar. Move'EM will not load files and buffers high, since Qualitas doesn't think it is reliable (I do it with Qram with no trouble). Move'EM does include an option to dump the environment for tsrs that are loaded high. Tsrs don't usually need their environment copies after installation, so this lets you reuse the memory for something else. Memory management is clever enough to do this without creating little holes in memory. --David ============================================================ David J.
