Wing Command has some additional functions only available through
expanded memory, and I'd like to get at them, but I don't have expanded
memory, I have extended memory.  The manual mentions setting up your
extended memory to emulate expanded memory to get around this.

I'd like to do this, but don't know what software I need to do this.
What is out there that will enable me to use extended memory as expanded
memory?

I have looked through the simtel archives, and found a couple programs
that would install an expanded memory driver and use either disk or
extended memory for the memory.  However, they also allocate a 64k
block of memory for the expanded memory pages, and I don't think that's
what I want.  Is the 64k memory block an unavoidable penalty I must pay
to get this extended <-> expanded memory swap?  There must be 
other people in this same situation, so anybody know the solutions?

Thanks for any info, and please e-mail. I will summarize to the net
if desired by others.
