About EEMM386.EXE

EEMM386.EXE is an

expanded memory

manager that supports the

LIM 4.0 expanded memory specification. It does so by using ordinary

memory above 1MB

(extended

memory) to emulate expanded memory.

The full syntax for the command line that activates EEMM386.EXE

is as follows:

DEVICE=[path]EEMM386.EXE[size][/F]

The items in brackets are optional. Their meanings are as follows:

path is a pathname specification. You need to add the pathname if the

file EEMM386.EXE is not in the root directory of the disk from

which you boot MS-DOS. For example, if you keep EEMM386.EXE
in a directory called \DOS on drive C:, be sure to include the
pathname, like this:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EEMM386.EXE

size allows you to specify the number of kilobytes of memory above

1MB that EEMM386.EXE uses as expanded memory. If you want

EEMM386.EXE to use all the memory above 1MB, omit this optional

parameter.

/F is an optional switch provided for compatibility with certain

application programs that support earlier versions of the LIM

expanded memory specification but do not support version 4.0. If
your application gives you an error message having to do with

expanded memory, try adding the /F switch, like this:

DEVICE=EEMM386.EXE/F
