EEMS = Enhanced EXPANDED memory system which is also known as (for all
practical purposes) EMS based on LIM 4.0.   It does what normal expanded
memory, but as the additional capability of mapping itself into the
address space below 640K.  In addition, it supports the execution of
programs in its memory.  Desqview takes advantage of it quite well and
lets you multi-task > 640K worth of programs.  

Extended memory only buys you 64K for Desqview(using QEXT.SYS).  You cannot
run normal DOS programs in extended memory.
