I'm having HUGE amounts of trouble with Norton's Diskreet Program. (V. 5.0) With a two line Config.sys consisting of: device = c:\dos\himem.sys device = c:\norton\diskreet.sys and an Autoexec.bat consisting of path = c:\dos;c:\norton; Version 4.01 of MSDOS. mem (and my own little programs) show 0 bytes available extended memory. If I rem out the device = c:\norton\diskreet.sys line, I end up with around 3538944 bytes available extended memory. The /skipumb option seems to do nothing. (Note, the manual specifies it as an option, and debug finds it inside diskreet.sys, but diskreet /? doesn't show it as an option.) The /nohma (this ones not in the Manual OR the diskreet /? listing, but once again, can be found with debug inside diskreet.sys) leaves all my memory free, but unfortunately eats up 52K conventional memory. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can get Norton to work properly? I.E. Load diskreet.sys without eating all of my extended memory. -- | Gordon Harry Shephard | Distributed Computing Support Group | | Academic Computing Services | Phone: (604)291-3930 (604)464-4991 | | Simon Fraser University | USERGHS@SFU.BITNET | | Burnaby, BC, Canada.
