I am helping a small, rural and public hospital set-up a desktop publishing
system.  They have an IBM PS/2 55SX with DOS 4.0.  The software is Windows/286
(version 2.1 I believe) with Aldus PageMaker and IBM's ImageEdit scanning
software.  My problem is that when I install DOS's XMAEM.SYS to enable 386
emulation of 286 memory management (the PS/2 is a 2 meg system) HIMEM.SYS will	not install.  Does anyone know of a work around?  The facility has very little
budget excess so it would be nice to avoid an upgrade cycle.
Thank you in advance.
