Myself i have nothing but DOS itself loaded high. I think Windows can 
make use of all memory itself. So i porbably don't need the EMM386.

It should load fine. Just be sure to include the \BORLANDC\BIN directory
in the PATH! Possibly you will also have to add the /X switch to the 
BC commandline.
Anyway i am almost sure that BC will work if you run it from Windows. 
BC makes use of DPMI memory provided by Windows or its own driver DPMILOAD.
There is no point to use EMM386 or QEMM to simulate EMS-memory if it's not
really required. BTW, programs that uses EMS are in my opinion old programs.
New programs uses eighter XMS, DPMI or VCPI memory management.

Did you try to remove RAM instead of NOEMS?
