Can you help me ?

I have a PC with NT client for MS-DOS it's install correctly. I logon in the PDC and I can see the BDC resources. I need run another program (control for employee tarjets terminals) , but the PC don´t have conventional memory, how load client modules in extended memory. I try with hidevice, EMM386, Memmaker, Himen, LH, nothing solve my problem, sugerences...

Thanks
 
To load the clients in the extended memory, you have to use "try-and-error" approach, that is, try every single client module to load into highmem, and verify if it works. Sequence of loading is also important. Also, try to remove one module at a time - for the task you mentioned, you might not need all the networking services you loaded (don't go with Microsoft's default, as usual :)).

How big is your DOS program? Try to determine, how much free memory you actually have after the boot.

Good luck - it's a tough one...
