AFAIK it is an integral part of DOS, not separately available.
Different DOS versions actually use it differently. For example, running
MS-DOS on a 386 (or better) you would use both HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE.
But with DR-DOS, you use HIMEM.SYS only on a 286, and EMM386 alone on a
386.
Other memory managers such as QEMM and Netroom substitute their own device
drivers, and you would use neither HIMEM.SYS nor EMM386 with them.
