I am trying to get BC to run under Windows, and it works fine, except when
I do File | Get Info it says that it is not using either XMs or
EMS....SO....this is a problem.

Program Item:  Runs BC.PIF

BC.PIF:

Runs BC.EXE
   Optional Parameters:  /e (I've tried /x also) file.prj

Advanced Options:
   EMS Required: 2048 Maximum: 2048
   XMS "" : 0 "": 0

It runs just fine, but it won't let me use EMS or XMS!!  I have tried
swapping /e and /x, EMS and XMS params, etc. but to no avail.  I am running
QEMM with the following switches:

device=QEMM.SYS NOSH NOEMS ROM RAM

Does that NOEMS matter?  I thought it shouldn't since Windows will
configure available memory as EMs for any application that wants it, right?
