How many Ks conventional do you get out of that?

Of course, I tried that.  The only problem is that I use Drivespace and
that
takes up most of the UMB area.  I need 10 more K to run a DOS program
and I'm already running bare minimum.  How can I get that last 10 K?  And
why is SYSTEM taking up 60something Ks conventional anyway?

How?  Can't use it.  Doesn't recognize it.  What does it do?

How do you do that?  I remember there was something about it in DOS 6.0,
but I forgot a long time ago.

Oh, and one more thing.  Is there any way to load TSRs in EMS?  If you
could
it would be wonderful.  If you could, how do you do it?
