I have an AT clone with 2Meg of memory, 640K standard and the rest extended.
I am currently looking at the Above EMS simulator to use 1M of my extended
memory as EMS.  My primary use for this would be with Windows 2.11.

Has anyone out there had any success with this combination ?  How exactly
does MS Windows use EMS anyhow ?  Other programs seem to be able to use the
simulated EMS ok (PCtools for example), but all I get from windows is
windows with 70K less real memory than it normally has.

What am I doing wrong ?  Is there some flag I should be setting to tell
windows, "Hey it's there, use the stuff !!" ?  Please assist me in this.

thanx in advance
