DOS16/M is a product from Rational Systems, Inc.  It is a DOS extender,
allowing programs to use extended memory.  It also has a virtual memory
(swapping) package that uses the 286 or 386 virtual memory features.

SET DOS16M=<parameters> specifies the configuration DOS16/M is to use
for its protected mode environment.  SET DOS16M=10 specifies a particular
method of switching between real and protected mode (this is a _loooong_
story -- different machines, different BIOS's, etc. all have their
peculiarities).  The reason for the need to set DOS16M=10 is
to make DOS16/M work on certain machines.
