I realize that this may be bit of a stupid question, but I know this
friend has a '286 and just got 4Mb RAM installed. The BIOS (Phoenix,
circa 1986(?)) reports that 4Mb just fine. However, none of shows up
as EMS memory. I assume that this is because EMM.SYS in not in the
CONFIG.SYS. (OOPS! I forgot to say that he's using DOS 3.3!!!!) 

1) Is the assumption that EMM.SYS sets up and manages EMS correct?
2) What are the parameters for EMM in CONFIG.SYS? He got the computer
   from somebody who either didn't have or lost the manual. I've got a
   new machine with DOS 5.0.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANY AND ALL ANSWERS!!!!
