         My Windows 95 "DOS Prompt Window" Memory Configurations


The following 3 memory screens were obtained by running:
MEM /A /C > C:\path\WIN95MEM.TXT
with Windows 95 started, at a DOS prompt (a Windows 95 DOS session),
after an MS-DOS 7.00 (Windows 95) bootup. Notice the presence of the
"vmm32" and "WIN" modules and of the second "COMMAND" interpreter module
on the memory screens (Win95's basic registry modules and protected mode
are enabled).

Running "MEM /A /C /P" from a DOS prompt within Win95 doesn't display
Win95's 32bit protected mode drivers loaded in extended memory (you can
only see the amount of total/used/free extended memory under Win95)!

To see the devices/drivers/TSR-s loaded in DOS mode at bootup time,
open my AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files (included in this archive) with
Notepad in Windows (or with EDIT.COM in MS-DOS mode).

NOTE: Read also MSD95.TXT for technical details about my system, a text
      file created by running Microsoft Diagnostics utility (MSD.EXE).


I used 3 different memory managers (with all drivers/devices/TSRs
loaded in upper memory):


1. Using Windows 95 versions of EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS memory managers:
