   that's weird... my autoexec.bat is where i load where i loadhigh 2gbfix... the   
   objects for each of my BBS nodes all load VX00.SYS with size=0...   
      
   eg:   
     SET DOS_DEVICE=SIZE=0 C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS,SIZE=0 C:\OS2\M   
   OS\ANSI.SYS,SIZE=0 C:\SIO\VX00.SYS   
      
   i'm also using SIO 1.60 (registered)...   
      
   as i understand it, the object gets created so my VX00.SYS is loaded... then   
   the specified autoexec script is run which loadhigh of both ostsr and   
   2gbfix... ostsr converts DESQview time slices to OS/2 time slices...   
      
   eg:   
     SET (a whole bunch of EVs)   
     LOADHIGH x:\ostsr.com 2   
     LOADHIGH x:\2gbfix.com   
     (load 4DOS aliases)   
     SET (a few more things)
