Since the above provides too much info for one screen, you need to do this to get that to generate a text file: mem /classify > c:\temp\mem.txt which will produce a file containing something like this: Modules using memory below 1 MB: Name Total Conventional Upper Memory -------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- MSDOS 27,680 (27K) 27,680 (27K) 0 (0K) ANSI 4,320 (4K) 4,320 (4K) 0 (0K) HIMEM 1,120 (1K) 1,120 (1K) 0 (0K) DBLBUFF 2,976 (3K) 2,976 (3K) 0 (0K) IFSHLP 2,864 (3K) 2,864 (3K) 0 (0K) WIN 3,904 (4K) 3,904 (4K) 0 (0K) vmm32 2,256 (2K) 2,256 (2K) 0 (0K) COMMAND 9,312 (9K) 9,312 (9K) 0 (0K) Free 592,320 (578K) 592,320 (578K) 0 (0K) Memory Summary: Type of Memory Total Used Free ---------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Conventional 647,168 54,848 592,320 Upper 0 0 0 Reserved 0 0 0 Extended (XMS) 66,060,288 184,320 65,875,968 ---------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total memory 66,707,456 239,168 66,468,288 Total under 1 MB 647,168 54,848 592,320 Largest executable program size 592,304 (578K) Largest free upper memory block 0 (0K) MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area. And this isn't very useful for telling you much of anything about how much extended memory you have _left_ to work with in Windows. It doesn't even try to tell you what a sizable chunk that Windows itself uses. Sorry. Pete
