well dosbox emulates no high memory
better said: It reports none available.

This is done as dosbox has more than avarage amounts of free base memory so the high memory isn't needed.

That mp thingie doesn't agree with us on the matter it seems

You could start by chaning your nick. As you by no doubt know, "Todesengel" was the nickname for Joseph Mengele in Auswitsch, and also the nick recently used by the native American schoolboy who murdered half his class. I think it is beyond decent taste to call yourself that.

That's quite understandable: I recall it was a major pain to get MoM working due to it's high requirements of base memory.

This is what the MP readme says:

Additionally, the Shell requires approximately 500 bytes of upper memory space in which to run. It should need no additional memory over that normally needed by MoM other than this.

Funny that they chose to forcefully use upper memory for a mere 500 bytes. Unfortunately that software is non-free, so just distributing a "fixed" version is problematic.
