    Hi Spec,

    On Wednesday June 26 2024, Spectre said to Vorlon:

    You need to run through mft and get the optimization tuned. There is a
    analyses section, that lets you list memory to "include" on your
    qemm386 line..

    Aside from having a general look at what was loading where, and seeing
    what conventional memory was free, I don't recall using Manifest for anything much else. Might not have fully understood it at the time.
    Back then optimize pretty much got it right, occasional footling around trying to coerce another driver/tsr high.

    I used it a lot. Was able to reakout more chungs of ram to include.

    My current configuration being DOS 6.22 in Virtual Box steadfastly
    refuses to load anything high. Optimize can optimise until the cows have come home and gone to pasture again. It'll add in all its
    recommendations and on restart nothing will load high.

    Yeap, have spent hours going through the process. My dos machine that I use when needed, went from about 538K to up at 600+K of conventional memory.
