Mark Owen Scott,

  Here's my CONFIG.SYS, less the CD ROM driver that I use:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /V
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS D=64 X=C000-C7FF /V
DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO
FILESHIGH=50
BUFFERSHIGH=22
STACKSHIGH=9,256
FCBSHIGH=1,0
LASTDRIVEHIGH=Z
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:768 /P
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS
BREAK=ON

  You need to load HIMEM.SYS & EMM386.EXE to setup your DOS memory.

  Later.
