Respect. I've been my very own 'memmaker' too :-)

But your's lacks EMS, which at that time was still sometimes necessary for some programs.

As was just HIMEM.SYS for 'pure' Windows 3.xsomething.

So I multimenued that at boot, including options for QEMM and 386totheMax, to cover it all, and compare :-)

EDIT: 4Dos & Scitech Display Doctor(later UNIVBE), too.
