One thing to remember is that you aren't in DOS any more, Toto. (-:
MEM is a DOS program. It reports the configuration of the Virtual DOS
Machine that it is run in. In OS/2, you can have multiple Virtual DOS
Machines, all running side by side. One of the many advantages of OS/2 is
that each VDM can be individually configured, using the [DOS Settings]
dialogue that is accessible from the [Settings] page of the VDM program
object's property notebook.
The XMS and EMS memory configurations reported to DOS programs are complete
fictions. Unlike on DOS, they do not represent the actual physical memory
configuration of the machine. So one of the things that you are going to
have to get used to is that your DOS tools, however convincing their output
may be, really _aren't_ reporting the state of the actual physical hardware
to you when they are run on OS/2.
If you want to find out what OS/2 _itself_ is seeing of your hardware, then
use a native OS/2 tool to do so, such as the System Information Tool in your
Bonus Pack.
