Hi Hung:
If you're thinking you need to "manage" your
memory with something like the old DOS MEMMAKER,
you don't have to with the DOS that runs under
Win95 -- Windows will take care of that
automatically.
However, I often use the Win95 DOS without running
Windows, and it works great. I have a CONFIG.SYS
file to load HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE to take
advantage of "upper memory" that DOS normally
wouldn't have access to.
DOS=HIGH, UMB
DEVICE=c:\himem.sys
DEVICE=c:\emm386.exe ram
FILES=99
LASTDRIVE=Z
NOTE: If you don't have HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE
in your root directory, put copies there, or
change the CONFIG.SYS path to point at their
location in C:\WINDOWS.
I also use SMARTDRV.EXE in my AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Jerry
