[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Must I Buy 386Max?

Dear Net:

I'm looking for a good shareware memory manager for my 386.  I've got
a program which requires 570K of base RAM. My operating system is DOS
3.3 and I have 1M on board and 4M of extended memory on an expansion
board.  The LIM driver which I downloaded from the Northgate BBS uses
about 70K to access the 2M   of expanded memory which this program also
requires.  I need something more efficient than that program since it
leaves me with only 530K of base RAM even after stripping my config.sys
to the bare minimum.  The name of  the profligate driver I downloaded is
emm40.sys.

I'm told that "386 to the Max" does what I want. (Allow a 575K program
to be loaded into base RAM while accessing expanded memory).Must I buy
this dumb software to give me a measly 35K more base RAM?
