Subject:	EMM386 limiting memory to 32Mb

Hi All:

  This question is a little bit out of topic:
  What's the best way to use more than 32Mb of memory under DOS 6.X?
  I have DOS 6.22 installed and EMM386 limits the ammount of VCPI 
memory to 32Mb. I had DOS 6.20 it did the same. I tried the EMM386 
from W95 OSR1 and is the same again. The only one that provides more 
than 32Mb is the one shipped with W3.11.
  I'm not sure about how much reliable is to use HIMEM.SYS from DOS 
6.22 with EMM386 from W3.11. And I'm not sure how good is this EMM386 
(is older than the others). And what's more strange is why in the 
hell they reduced the functionallity (OK is M$)?
  By now I'll try it but I want to know other experiencies.
  One important thing is that by default this EMM386 reserves 64Kb of 
memory (I guess for W3.11 use), so I forced it to include all.
