Well I found that by placing the rem in Config.sys for the CD-ROM driver
that it disables the CD-ROM in Dos, which is fine I gained 20k in the
conventional memory. I also received some help from JOE DRYSDALE and with
some programs in which I learned by typing mem/c/p at the DOS or MSDOS
Prompt will tell you what is using your conventional memory, in my case it
is MSDOS. If anyone has any advise on freeing up some of the memory used by
MSDOS I would appreciate it.Modules using memory below 1 MB:
Name Total Conventional Upper Memory
-------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
MSDOS 33,424 (33K) 33,424 (33K) 0 (0K)
HIMEM 1,168 (1K) 1,168 (1K) 0 (0K)
IFSHLP 2,864 (3K) 2,864 (3K) 0 (0K)
