When you use emm386 to load TSR's into upper memory blocks are you making use
of memory that is not otherwise usable by programs such as windows?  Or do
umb's form part of extended memory?

I don't need vast amounts of conventional memory as most of my programs use
extended memory, I am merely interested in making the most memory possible
available to Windows.
