EMM386

(software, storage)

An expanded memory manager for IBM PCs with an Intel 80386 or higher processor, part of MS-DOS version 5.00 or higher. EMM386 uses extended memory to simulate expanded memory and also provides upper memory blocks. It must be loaded by a DEVICE= command in your CONFIG.SYS file.

It had no problems, however, operating under HIMEM and EMM386 as supplied with MS-DOS 6.2.

C.P.R. System(Evaluation)

Another program, EMM386, supplied with DOS 5.0, allows the user to set aside some of the extended memory as expanded memory so that both expanded and extended memory are made available as needed.

Using HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.SYS and loading MS-DOS into upper memory yielded 613 KB of usable conventional memory and 5,460 KB of extended or expanded memory as needed.

Thanks for the memory
