You could be onto something, Chris. (G'day, mate!)<br>
<br>
I had something like that problem with a DOS program once. I can't
remember what it was, nor am I entirely sure whether I decreased or
increased stacks and buffers. I do recall being very mystified about
why it thought there was insufficient memory, as I usually ran QEMM to
maximise what was available.<br>

I just remembered an issue I had with this old dos based monitoring software we had over here.. I got that message "requires atleast x KB" and scratched my head after MEM.EXE reported well over 600 free..
I decrease stacks and fcb in config.sys (I think that was buffers=.. bla too long ago) anywhere that area seemed to do it for me, maybe that's got something to do with it?
Ah if it doesn't just delete me and let someone useful answer :-)
Chris.

The answer for OpenGEM/XM is that it tries to SUBST Z:, and if it does
not exist a minor error message is displayed the OpenGEM/XM runs away.
Interestingly, OpenGEM/XM is not running on DOSBOX. DOSBOX thinks it is
in Drive Z:. I wonder if the problem is connected? The error message
in this case is that GEM 3.0 requires at least 500kb of memory. Over
600kb is available.
