Introduction

Anyone remember the days of manual memory management? I spent many nights tweaking my EMS settings to get various games working correctly. The process itself was relatively easy. Edit the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files and change a few variable numbers. I was partial to the QEMM program. It served me well until MS-DOS' memmaker in version 6 made life much easier. Those days are long gone. Now, we just pump as much memory as possible into our system and let the OS do all the work.
