There's another mail from Jack:
Vehudis,

I am happy UIDE and SHCDX33E now work for you, at least in part.

My XMGR driver did have error return-code problems, which were corrected
in 2007 as I recall. If you first tried it then, do try my latest XMGR
with your applications again. Hopefully, they will work better.

If UIDE runs with /S40 but shows "XMS init error!" with /S80, your HIMEM
likely does not support over 64-MB of XMS. If not XMGR, do try HIMEMX
from <www.japheth.de> and see if HIMEMX will give you 80-MB for a cache.
