Hi folks,
I found something fascinating today. While playing around trying to get some 
more free mem for DOS on a machine with Win95b, lacking my usual tools for 
analysing mem usage, I tried some foolish things and found that the Line 
  device=c:\yourpath\emm386.exe noems i=A000-B7FF
in config.sys resulted in well over 700 Kbyte of free DOS mem after 
rebooting. (I boot to DOS level only, prefering to start W95 manually or by 
batch). Now how's that, without QEMM or any other external drivers? Time 
permitted only limited testing, but DOS seemed to work well. 
It seems that EMM386 now has the ability to provide DOS mem, too, if the mem 
to include is adjacent to the 640 KB border.
There's a downside to this: W95 would't start. But this might nonetheless be 
a nice part of a multi-config system for pure dos fans.
I'd like to know if this is easily reproducable on a variety of machines. So 
please drop me a note.
(Yeah, it is OFF-TOPIC, but somehow i feel you might be interested)
Greetings, *Klaus*
