	My Wife's department has a 386/25 clone with 5M Ram ( 1 on
	the board & 4 on a card). They want to run windows3.0 BUT
	they also need to run a custom application.

	The short story is that they need some management of the high bank
	that is palatable to Windows and will also handle RAMDRIVE.SYS
	residing in a very specific place. I need to install EMM386 manually
	in config.sys specifying the frame location and hiding the
	upper bank from Windows. Something like:

	device=emm386.sys 1984 ON FRAME=A000 EXCLUDE=C000-EFFF

	Except that the above doesn't work. How come these strings can be
	found in a file dump, but aren't accepted from the command line?
	I Think I know, and I hope I'm wrong.

	Any help would be appreciated. I know about 386max but would prefer
	to do it this way. Please, no rtfm's.
