Phil, please clarify something.  If the PC has "LIM EMS 4.0" implemented
using its chipset (ie, the current SUNTAC or C&T NEAT), complete with 
its own driver (that makes 4DOS and VDISK happy), will DESQview use it,
or will DESQview only use EEMS?  Most current 286 clones seem to have
this LIM4.0 EMS included.  Thanx,
      fred
