Subject: Rebel 12 DOS and dos memory configuration

Hi,
it is kind of weird, having just got Rebel for windows, but I would like to
build a big book by merging oìther books.
I'm trying to use rebel 12 DOS for merging opening books, but I get into trouble
due to lack of memory.

I usually use XP, and getting back to dos is not easy.
I have got an old dos floppy and manged to use rebel 12 DOS.
It merges opening books fine but I exhaust the memory after some merging. So I
would like to know what settings of hymem and or emm386 are best to maximize the
memory it can see. I have tryed

1)
DEVICE=hymem.sys

or

2)
DEVICE=hymem.sys
DEVICE=emm386.exe

or

3)
DEVICE=hymem.sys
DEVICE=emm386.exe ram

or

4)
DEVICE=hymem.sys
DEVICE=emm386.exe noems

I have 256 MB but I guess it does not see all of that memory.
By the way I used a dos 7 (or win 95) floppy boot.

I have a similar problem with the EOC building tools. While the dbutil work with
the 3rd setting at least.

regards
Franz
