Do you can give an example of program DOS?  Depending the program, this
reply can be different.
	Normally, when we use programs DOS, we must load drivers, etc, in the
area of superior memory(betwenn 640Kb and 1 Mb).
	For example, in the archive config.sys, in the
place of DEVICE=C:\... we,put DEVICEHIGH=C:\... In the same
archive, DOS=higth,umb places the system in the area of high
memory(over 1Mb), with results more space in the conventional(first 640Kb),where
DOS programs is running.
