It could be reporting what you have left in a 64K block, or in the lower 640K
block. Hard to tell without more info. You need to use an EMM to page more
memory out of the 64megs of XMS into lower memory, 2k, 16k, 32k, or 64k
at a time. But Eu should be doing this for you, transparently. Look up
Loadhigh, EMM386.exe, Himem.sys, get a copy of QEMM (makes
managing memory *lots* easier), and look into using a ramdrive to hold huge
vars in memory (set it to use XMS).
