This is the configuration on my computer using QEMM 6.0 and MS DOS 5.0 as of
12/25/91.  I am using a Gateway 2000 386/33C with 4megs of RAM and a 120MB IDE
hard drive.  Using this configuration, I have 623.6K free (that's 638,608 bytes
people).  The NOSH parameter in line 2 of my config.sys is to tell QEMM
that I have no Shadow RAM.  One thing to do to get more memory is to keep the
environment small.  Anything that is shown when you type SET at the prompt is
in the environemt.  Make directory names that are put in the path short(the
longer the path, the more memory that is used).  Keep your SET= statements to a
minimum.  Also keep them simple.  Set LASTDRIVE to the lowest drive letter
needed. I you have one HD partition, and don't plan on using a ramdrive place
LASTDRIVE=C into you CONFIG.SYS. Other things to do in the CONFIG.SYS is to
place FCBS=1 and STACKS=0,0 on separate lines.  Keep the number of files in the
CONFIG.SYS down to the smallest that you need.  There is a program called
FILES.COM included with QEMM.  If you load this up high in your AUTOEXEC.BAT,
ad the additional number of files needed after FILES.  Using my example, you
would take the 8 included in CONFIG.SYS and ad whatever it takes to reach the
desired number of files.  I want 50 in my case and I used +42.  If you use this
utility, the minimum files in the CONFIG.SYS must be 8, as this is the minimum
allowable by MS-DOS.  The rest will be loaded high.  Also, use the LOADHI
command that came with QEMM 386 to see what regions are use/available.
