The newest version of MS-Windows (Version 2.1) Includes an "Extended Memory
Manager" which windows uses to store some of its buffers (?) in Extended

indication of the "accepted way" of dealing with Extended memory, at least
according to Microsoft.  Maybe one of the guys up at MS will clue us all in...
