I asked you about this before, but I think it was when your system went down.
What options are there for controlling the amount of main memory taken up by
Dragon Dictate? A friend who uses it finds himself with only 390K free, which
is making it hard for him to run some programs (like the tutorial that comes
with Word Perfect). Is there any way to reduce this usage?

Is there any way to reduce this >usage? Most definitely yes! Right now I'm running my DragonDictate speech recognition system along with 30 files, 30 buffers and ansi.sys loaded. The way that I've configured my system, I have more than 471K conventional memory currently available. I'm able to run Word Perfect and another product called Zoomtext with my DragonDictate loaded at the same time. Have him replace the DT batch file that loads the DragonDictate drivers with what is in the batch file. That will allow him to run optimize and it will load the file dragon30.exe into high memory. The optimize function will automatically load his system drivers into high memory whenever possible. Make sure that he's using Quarterdeck's Expanded Memory Manager. It should have come with the DragonDictate software. Also make sure that he's using at least version 5.0 Or later. If he doesn't have the latest version he can still use the version 4.X but he will have to load the drivers himself. If he's still having difficulties he can call me at (301)- 725-2169 and I'll help him through it. If he's really on a tight budget have him leave me a message on my answering machine and I'll call him back. I'm generally at work during the day but after 5 o'clock I'm usually here near the phone. I'm really sorry that I missed your first message but I hope that this will have helped him a lot. If he's having any difficulty at all please have him call me! This is a very powerful system and I know quite a few other tricks that will enhance the product's output.
