$ I tried the win86 and it works fine. So does my old 286 version of

Expanded memory _is_ EMS!!!!! If all you want to do is convert
exTENded memory to exPANded, there are _much_ better ways to do it
than to buy Windows! There are several products available (such as
QEMM.SYS from Quarterdeck, and even recent versions of DOS have a
reportedly poor extended-expanded converter for 386 machines) that
will perform this task for you.
