Lotus 123 r3.x supports VCPI, which means that it can access memory provided
by Windows.. IF it's run from within windows.
If you want to run Lotus 123 r3.x from OUTSIDE of windows, you're going to have
to configure some EMS, by either giving a parameter to EMM386 (this then
stops that amount from working as XMS for windows), or by using a better
memory manager such as QEMM386.
QEMM allows both XMS and EMS access to the same areas of memory, and
provides the amount you need on demand. It also does some very clever things
with the upper memory area between 640k and 1Mb.

In terms of money, you can either splash out on buying QEMM, or you could
upgrade to Lotus 123 for windows, or just put up with having to run lotus from
within windows.
