not enough memory error

not enough memory error

[Enrique]

Hi,

I just installed dosemu with the help of dosemu
for dummies and it works fine (good job!). 
However, I'm trying to run this dos program and 
it exits with this message: "Not enough memory, 
required 559, available 393488"

But when I run mem /f it tells me that I have 
630K of free conventional memory (see below). 
Do you know why the program believes it does not 
have enough memory when in fact it does have 
plenty? Is there a way to "fool" the program 
so it runs.

Thanks,
Enrique

Very strange. Which program?
