Use of extendd memory requires a memory manager. Most
versions of MS-DOS include a standard extended memory
manager. If you are using MS-DOS, Windows, and other
compatible programs, it is best to use one of the memory
managers (such as HIMEM.SYS) that came with your software
because these memory managers have been tested and proven
reliable.
Most MS-DOS commands and application programs cannot use
extended memory directly. They need to use expanded memory,
which uses a portion of reserved memory as a window to
access RAM beyond lMB. This type of memory allows some
MS-DOS applications to get around the 640KB size limitation.
You control expanded memory with a memory manager (such
as EMM386.EXE), which enables the computer to use extended
memory as expanded memory.
