Aside from having a general look at what was loading where, and seeing what
conventional memory was free, I don't recall using Manifest for anything much
else. Might not have fully understood it at the time.  Back then optimize
pretty much got it right, occasional footling around trying to coerce another
driver/tsr high.

My current configuration being DOS 6.22 in Virtual Box steadfastly refuses to
load anything high. Optimize can optimise until the cows have come home and
gone to pasture again. It'll add in all its recommendations and on restart
nothing will load high.. Oddly enough the free high memory is available and
useable for things like RAMDRIVE and SMARTDRV.  I'm back to pretty much just
using RAMDRIVE though, if you run a big enough smartdrv it'll start handing
out the wrong files if they happen to have the same filename across
different sources.
