Using EMM386.SYS

EMM386SYS is an expanded memory manager that lets you

use extended memory to emulate expanded memory so that you

can use application programs that support LIM EMS.

Note

Do not use EMM386.S

YS if you installed an expanded

memory

option card.

Use the device driver that came

with

the memory card. See the documentation that came with the
card for instructions.

The full syntax for the command line that activates

EMM386SYS is:

DEVICE= [d:][path]

The items in brackets are optional; you do not type any brackets

when you enter this command. The following paragraphs

describe the items in the command line.

The d:path parameter specifies the pathname. You specify the

pathname if the file EMM386.SYS is not in the root directory

of the hard disk or diskette from which you load MS-DOS. For

example, if EMM386.SYS is in a directory called \DOS on
drive C, include the pathname, like this:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.SYS
