SUMMARY
Running Quarterdeck's QRAM version 1.01 LOADHI FILES +M command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file under Microsoft MS-DOS version 5.0 will hang your machine. Having this command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file will also cause QRAM's optimize program to go into an endless loop, displaying the message &quot;optimize signature&quot; on the screen. This is a problem in QRAM's FILES.COM program that Quarterdeck is aware of and currently researching.

Until a new version of QRAM is released, the only workarounds are to not use the LOADHI FILES +M command or to use the FILES.COM program from QRAM version 1.0.
