  I'll keep this short and sweet.  Orginally DOSMAX, STOPMAX, FREELOAD,
  SHELLMAX, and ENVIMAX were produced as tools for my own use.  The goal was
  to configure my computer for the optimum balance between low and high
  memory.  I have since extended the programs to support all the conditions
  I could think of and thereby achieve this balance in as many configurations
  as possible.

  Though I have made every effort to thoroughly test these programs under
  a variety of demanding configurations, the basic algorithum relies on
  unofficial features of MS-DOS and memory managers, and I do not accept
  liability for any damage incurred to your computer or data resulting
  from the use of these programs.

  You are free to try the DOSMAX package until you are satisfied that
  it performs its functions properly and you decide the package is useful
  and desired in your configuration.  If you make the decision to continue
  to use these programs, please pay for them.  Your $15.00 will help
  defray my costs to produce them.

  Registered user's of earlier versions of DOSMAX are not obligated to
  repeat their previous contribution.  (Unless you really, really, really
  appreciate the effort and want to...).

  If you register, I will be happy to answer any technical questions you
  have about these products.

  Send your name, address, phone#, or whatever information is appropriate,
  and remit $15.00 to:

  If more than 3 computers at your site use DOSMAX (additional computers
  you personally own and use are covered by the 1 registration fee), you
  may reduce the registration as follows:

                  1 ->   3   :   $15.00 per unit
                  4 ->   9   :   $13.00 per unit
                 10 ->  24   :   $10.00 per unit
                 25 ->  49   :   $ 8.00 per unit
                 50 ->  99   :   $ 6.00 per unit
                100 -> +++   :   $ 5.00 per unit

  You may distribute the DOSMAX package only in its original form as
  DOSMAX17.ZIP (the version # is optional but recommended), and all files
  must be intact.

(Packed File is Corrupt::)

    This message is issued by programs linked with /EXEPACK option of earlier
    versions of Microsoft's Link when they are loaded so low in memory that
    the unpacking crosses the first 64k boundary and the /A20 line is on.
    This is a bug in the unpacking code and not a problem in DOSMAX.  After
    installing DOSMAX, the load address is "lower" than any of your previous
    configurations and you may encounter this bug even inside a DESQView
    window, or from a program overlay.

    The simple solution to the problem is to use LOADFIX.COM supplied with 
    MS-DOS 5.0.  This program eats up low memory and loads the trouble program
    above the 1st 64k boundary.  Another solution to the problem is to
    contact the program's developer for an update.  Finally, there are several
    programs on the market which unpack the executeable or overlay and may
    then repack the code with a better algorithum.  An excellent program which
    is even freeware, is LZEXE.ZIP (or LZEX91.ZIP)

    LZEXE.EXE v0.91 (c) 1989 Fabrice BELLARD
    UPACKEXE.EXE v1.00 (c) 1989 Fabrice BELLARD

    This program is available on many BBS's including COMPUSERVE in IBMSYS
    Lib 6 as LZEX91.ZIP.

(Hint)::

    If you DOS is in a UMB, and you use SHELLMAX.COM and /A0, or 4DOS.COM,
    your A20 line should be off.  Starting up DESQView, or using an XMS disk
    cache may turn on the A20 again.
