Take a look at Quarterdeck's "QEMM 386" memory management utilities.
With a user-base in the 10s of thousands, documentation and technical
help is readily available.  They're good, they work very well, they're
easy (only takes a day or two to figure them out :-) and they're under
$100 US.  I recommend this as an easier solution to your problems,
although I obviously guarantee absolutely nothing.

I don't think it's so important unless you're running a floppy-only
system.  That's just an opinion.  I think the BIOS SHADOWING 
(relocation) is very much worth it, although not necessarily with
the utility you are trying to implement it -- sounds like a dog
to me.  (No offense meant to my canine friends).

Goodluck.  I have no connection with Quarterdeck or QEMM beyond that
of a satisfied customer.
