Do you mean the Win95 console mode version?

Isn't yarnx.exe a regular DOS version?

I run Yarn95 in a DOS window, and with Yarn, two Netscape windows,
NetTerm, and SouperGUI all running I get the following when I ! to a
DOS prompt and run mem:
C:\YARN>mem
Memory Type Total Used Free
---------------- -------- -------- --------
Conventional 640K 62K 578K
Upper 0K 0K 0K
Reserved 384K 384K 0K
Extended (XMS) 64,512K ? 97,120K
---------------- -------- -------- --------
Total memory 65,536K ? 97,698K
Total under 1 MB 640K 62K 578K
Largest executable program size 578K (591,792 bytes)
Largest free upper memory block 0K (0 bytes)
MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.
Editing my batchfile that starts Yarn to include "lh" in front of the
Yarn executable didn't result in mem returning a result that differs
from the above. Switching back to yarnx, with and without "lh" also
failed to change the mem results. Am I missing something here?
