SUMMARY
=======

AutoCAD release 10 for MS-DOS cannot access extended memory provided by the
HIMEM /int15=xxxx switch. A patch file that allows AutoCAD 10 to allocate XMS
extended memory is available from Autodesk. HIMEM.SYS provides XMS extended
memory by default. AutoCAD386 is not affected by this problem.

The product included here, AutoCAD, is manufactured by vendors independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's
