## SUMMARY

In most cases, MS-DOS Upgrade Setup places SETVER.EXE on the first line of the CONFIG.SYS file. However, if you are loading ASPI4DOS.SYS, Setup places the command for SETVER.EXE after the command for ASPI4DOS.SYS.

## MORE INFORMATION

If you have a DEVICEHIGH command for SETVER.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file before you run Setup, Setup removes that command and adds the following one to the top of the file:

       DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE

If you are loading ASPI4DOS.SYS, the above line is added after the command for ASPI4DOS. In either case, SETVER is loaded into conventional memory.
To optimize your memory configuration after installing MS-DOS 6, run MemMaker.
