I have just received an Everex 20MHz '386, w/ 4MB ram.  The OS
is MS-DOS 3.3, running Windows/386.  One of the main applications
we would like to run is Excel, but as configured, Windows is unable
to do anything with the 3 meg of extended memory in the system (other
than as a ramdisk.)

The documentation for Windows and Excel indicate nothing about the
use of extended memory as expanded memory.  I am looking for a driver,
perhaps, that can simulate the LIM 3.4 specs using the extended memory
in this Everex box.  Can anybody help me (answers, pointers, etc?)

Please post responses, as I am suspicious of the mail link to our site.
Thanks for you help.
