SUMMARY

MemMaker scans memory to determine the current settings for the following four environment variables set in the CONFIG.SYS file:

Buffers=
FCBS=
Files=
Lastdrive=

MemMaker searches memory instead of reading the CONFIG.SYS file because a third-party memory manager may be loading these commands into upper memory. This is necessary because MemMaker may not recognize your third-party memory management loading scheme.
