	The 386 doesn't magically do this mapping for you.  You would have
	to have some 386 Control Program such as QEMM386 or 386MAX be
	installed first.  They emulate LIM 4.0 by making use of the Paging
	capabilities available with the 80386/80486.

	If you run "win /r" without some control program like the ones
	mentioned above then Windows won't have any EMS memory available
	for use.  Hence no Small-Frame nor no Large-Frame just your
	basic Real Mode configuration similiar to the Windows 1.X days.
