Ok, this is probably an ExtremelyFAQ, but I hate the EMMs, QEMMs and
what's-this-MMs and consequently have lost interest in learning how they work.
(I guess I must do that some day)

I would like some simple instructions: My system is a 486/33, DOS 5.0, 8 megs
of RAM, HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE. My current autoexec.bat and config.sys
have the following lines:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2048 i=e000-efff ram  (I have a Trident VGA card and
got this line from a friend)

Also, I use SMARTDRV.EXE with a 2M cache.  The compiler and Go32 complain "The
CPU must be in REAL mode (not V86 mode) to run this program." I understand
that this is because of the ex{tended|panded} memory drivers, but what should
I do or use to get the compiler to work? Thank you.
