If you have a 386 and more than 1MB of memory you can use one of several
Memory Managers. MSDOS 4.01 and Windows 3.0 supply EMM386.SYS to do that.
QEMM from Quarterdeck and other commercial memory managers for the 386
allow you also to convert all extended to LIM 4.0 expanded memory. In
addition they also let you load TSR into memory outside the regular 640k
of DOS given you more 'conventional' memory.

I know there are some PD programs that can also do that but I have no
experience with any of these.

If you have a 286 you'll need a expanded memory board - sorry :(
