ZTC 3.0 has two DOS extenders, a 16 bit one for 286/386/486, and a 32
bit one for 386/486. Each can use all physical memory installed in the
machine, which is 16Mb for the 286 and up to whatever for the 386.
Both support DPMI, VCPI, XMS, and bare metal.
Both extenders are included, royalty free, and require no redistribution
license.

Neither does virtual memory.

ZTC 3.0 still supports Pharlap's 386 Extender and Rational's 286 Extender,
if you prefer to use theirs.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions about it. I love email!
