Quarterdeck makes Qram, a loadhi utility for 286s.  It will load device
drivers, tsrs, and dos files and buffers into umbs (memory above 640k and
below 1m).

As an alternative, Qualitas makes Move'EM, which is similar.  Move'EM will
not load files and buffers high, since Qualitas doesn't think it is
reliable (I do it with Qram with no trouble).  Move'EM does include an
option to dump the environment for tsrs that are loaded high.  Tsrs don't
usually need their environment copies after installation, so this lets
you reuse the memory for something else.  Memory management is clever
enough to do this without creating little holes in memory.
