I have found several EMS simulators for PC AT and compatible machines in the Simtel20 archives. These allow you to "fake" the computer into using either extended memory (say configured as ramdisk) or hard disk as expanded memory. Has anyone seen a similar freeware or shareware program that does the same for EEMS?

Re: EEEEEEEMS Simulators Please, in 25 words or less, what is the difference between EMS and EEMS? Inquiring minds want to know.

LIM EMS is the Lotus-Intel- Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification; EEMS is the [AST-Quadram- Ashton Tate?] Enhanced Expanded Memory Specification. Desqview is one of the few programs that uses EEMS or LIM EMS 4.0 but not LIM EMS 3.2.) Paul S. R.

LIM EMS is the Lotus-Intel- LIM EMS 4.0 is *not* upward compatible with EEMS. However, if you read ">>" as "is a functional superset of", your statement is correct. (EMS 3.2 uses function codes 40h through 4Eh, EMS 4.0 uses codes 40h through 5Dh, and EEMS uses function codes 40h through 4Eh plus 60h through 6Ah. Quarterdeck had to release a new version of DESQview to support EMS4 in addition to EEMS.) -- UUCP: {ucbvax,harvard}!cs.cmu.edu!ralf -=-=-=- Voice: (412) 268-3053 (school) ARPA: ralf@cs.cmu.edu BIT: ralf%cs.cmu.edu@CMUCCVMA FIDO: Ralf Brown 1:129/31 Disclaimer?
