Suggestions on Memory Manager
I have been put in charge of getting our new managers TP750c onto our
token ring LAN. Since he gets to call the shots he chose Windows as his
enviroment of choice instead of OS/2. Because of DOS's built in short
comings the Thinkpad configuration breaks everytime he installs something
new.
Ive configured his 750c with IBM's LSP and lan requestor, the standard
suite of socket and cardservice drivers for dos, the SVGA drivers and
the CD-ROM drivers. Hes also running pc3270 for windows, ACK!
Unfortunately the cd-rom breaks most everything. I dont have to much
experience with DOS, mainly OS/2 and Un*x, and would really appreciate
a hand in choosing a 3rd party memory manager or a finding a way to get
himem.sys and emm386.sys to divy out memory better.
All of the other 750's Ive setup under OS/2 have been snaps and have yet
to land back on my desk for modifications to the software configuration.
However his has been like a boomer-rang. Im getting fustrated, hes piss-off.

If he says he wants Chicago I think Ill barf on his shoes since
I can install OS/2 under site license for damn near free; AND it works!

Thanks for your help.
