When operating in the Desqview environment, is EMS 4.0 treated like
EEMS? I have an 80286, and I need to know if it is possible to multitask
beyond 640K. Currently, Desqview swaps programs in and out of low
memory. It sure would be nice to run Microsoft C (~380K) and a text
editor (~200K) with background compilation.

Am I asking too much of an 80286 under DOS? Or will I have to upgrade to
an 80386?

Thanks in advance.
