If I remember correctly, the Windows 3.0 documentation is pretty
explicit about the fact that DOS's HIMEM will NOT work and should be
replaced by the HIMEM that comes with Windows. However, I reserve the
right to be wrong, since I don't have the manuals here at work. Check
the manual, appendices, and the README file.
