MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.
I'm running MS-DOS 6.22 on VMWare virtual hardware. This is memory state after memmaker pass, so i'm looking for optimization beyond memmaker.
Note: NLS drivers (DISPLAY, KEYB, NSLFUNC) are essential for me.
Thanks to @mtone for valuable reminder about MSCDEX /E which gave me 16KiB of low memory (see the diff)!
