[Freedos-user] emm386, himem.sys, config.sys

[Miguel G. <ga...@gm...>]

Hi,

I recently discovered Rufus, the DOS boot disk installer, and
installed FreeDOS on my thumbdrive. I think it's pretty neat.

Other than occasional command-line use in Windows, the last time I
probably messed with DOS was probably about 20 years ago. And I was
certainly no programmer then.

Anyways, what I am wondering is, I had come across PictView and tried
viewing some images with it, but it gives an error and says something
about not enough memory, will only display the first 54 lines. Then it
loads the top 2% or so of the image.

I randomly ran across references to emm386.exe. Would loading
emm386.exe allow PictView to work? I'm assuming something must,
otherwise PictView seems like a pretty useless program (no offense
intended).
