Summary: EmSim.arc does this Keywords: EMS, Extended memory Message-ID: <9403@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU> Date: 14 Mar 89 10:11:50 GMT References: <477@studsys.mu.edu> Reply-To: ddurbin@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Daniel A. Durbin) Distribution: usa Organization: Cal Poly State University -- San Luis Obispo Lines: 30 The following was extracted from EMSIM.DOC: The EMSimulator or Expanded Memory Simulator, bridges the gap between your application software and the AT's previously unusable Extended memory. Now programs such as Lotus 123 v2, Symphony v1.1, Lightning, Reflex v1.1, and most L-I-M Expanded Memory compatible software can access up to 8 megabytes of your AT's extra memory. By removing the 640K restriction and limitations of conventional memory, expanded memory makes large spreadsheets and databases a reality. The EMSimulator is compatible with the IBM AT and most AT "Clones" including Compaq's 286 series. Installation of the EMSimulator is quick and easy requiring only an addition to your "CONFIG.SYS" file and that extended memory be available via an expansion board as mentioned above. Compaq 286's and some clones already have extended memory capabilities so additional boards may not be required! Contact us or your dealer for more information. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I think they want $49 for the program which seems steep when there are most likely other less expensive alternatives. EMSIM.ARC is available at simtel.
