I got the shareware version of ROTT to work on my old DX/33 4 Mb RAM.  
Basically, I remarked all of the TSRs and drivers I didn't need, and changed 
the EMM386 line to give me about 3000k EMS memory.  I forget offhand what I 
wrote exactly, but if anyone wants to know, I can post my config.sys and 
autoexec.bat files (its on my old computer, currently not connected, or I 
would post it anyway).
