I've just installed PC-NFS on an 8088 that runs out of memory when running WordPerfect. What are some solutions around ram cram on a lowly XT? P.S. The machine has no extended/expanded memory. -- Karl Buck email: kxb@hilbert.math.ksu.edu KSU Dept. of Mathematics Manhattan, Kansas 66506 voice: (913)532-6750

This will save a couple of K 3) Don't load ansi.sys. PC-NFS messages will look odd, but it will still work. 4) Lower your files and buffers in config.sys to the minimum you can live with.
