- I have a 486/dx with 8 MB RAM. However, I couldn't increase EMS for
- a DOS program beyond about 3 MB by changing DOS setting for this program.
- (EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT=8196, for example).
- Am I correct to assume with virtual memory I can have as much EMS as I want?
- Thanks for any help.
- P.S. I was able to have EMS more than 5 MB on another machine with similar
- setup. There may be a trick I don't know.
