PC Magazine published such a utility, makes extended emulate expanded
at the expense of conventional.  You can get this via PC MagNet (pick up

Compaq's 3.31 DOS supports this without any additional device drivers, 
I bought a copy for this purpose and run it on an AT Clone at home and
an AST 386 at work... no worries.
