Dunn) Organization: McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario Lines: 21 DOS 4 comes with a couple of drivers that can be used to emulate EMS with extended memory. One of them (XMAEMS.SYS, is it?) allows you to use the memory-mapping capabilities of the 386 to map extended memory into the conventional 0-1M addressing range, while the other (XMA2EMS.SYS?) performs the functions requires of an EMS V4.0 driver. These two programs work fine on a PS/2 model 80, which is the only machine I've ever used them on. I don't want to sound like a rabid Microsoft or MS-DOS promoter, but if you have DOS version 4, you might as well at least try these programs since you already have them. (BTW, don't bother writing back to me if all you want to do is refresh my memory on the exact names of the device drivers. Technical responses are welcome, however.) -- Stephen M.
