First off you only need 610000 bytes which is roughly 596K so you're not
too far off.  Since I use SStor not Stacker I can only suggest that you
make sure the driver is truly loading high, if so load your drivers and
TSRs in a largest first to smallest format.  If none of the above helps
then you can either buy QEMM or get fancy with EMM386 via the /Include
statement which grabs more memory between the 640k and 1meg barrier than
EMM386 normally would (this can be tricky so have a bootable floppy ready
) usually memory in the C*** to CFFF is available but EMM386 won't grab
it by default.

Of course you can always make a boot disk and or separate boot up
procedure so that you don't load the drivers/TSRs that you don't need in
order just to play AOTP.
