My information indicates that HIMEM from DOS 6.20 and later supports
/EISA switch.  Here's what "HELP HIMEM" says about it on my system:


	/EISA
	     Specifies that HIMEM should allocate all available
	     extended memory.  This switch is necessary only on an
	     EISA computer with more than 16 MB of memory; on other
	     computers, HIMEM automatically allocates all available
	     extended memory.
