I have a question about memory and extended memories on a pc.  Here is my
question:

	Up to 640K memory, this is called BASE memory?

	From 640K to 1024K, this is called XMS?  What does XMS stand for?

	From 1024K on up is called EMS?  What does EMS stand for?

In addition, what device drivers does one need to use to access this 
memory using DOS?

THanks
