OK!OK!OK! Dummy me I had a freeware debug.com clone in my path.
Now that I moved DrDos 7.03 debug.exe into my pack directory both drbio.sys and drdos.sys compress corectly and boot OK! I have also included jemmex.exe on my recovery boot disk and now I have 650,144 bytes of available DOS memory:

Modules using memory below 1 MB:

DR-DOS is resident in the high memory area.

Regarding jemmex.exe I now it is a "Development version (unstable)"
when I exit fm.com (by AirSoft, Bulgaria) jemmexe gives me a nice exception message (4 lines of numbers etc) but if I press escape I can continue. Best regards, Stephen William Foyle
