HIMEM        KW> loads part of DOS in the memory between 640K and 1 meg, and EMM386.EXE        KW> lets programs access the other 23 megs of RAM.                     Kurt              I started runing Ribbs BBS back in 1990 on the Trs-80 Color Computer running       under Os9 Level 2, then switched to a 386 running Remote Acccess, Gecho and       QWMM. I downloaded the entire fidonet backbone and I was a local hub 200 in       Net-109. Now I am running Wildcat and Mystic BBS. Yes, Himem.sys & Emm386.exe       brings back some old memories. Now I am running the bbs systems under Windows        7.                            ...
