first of all, many thanks :)
EMM386 will only allocate VCPI memory from the EMS memory pool. Making it automatically use the XMS memory pool would require backdoor interaction> with HIMEM[64] and generally make things quite a bit more complex.
Of course, a DOS extender/extended program can still use XMS in addition to> VCPI and many of them do.
I can see aproblem here (or I can have missunderstood): IMHO what will be used a lot is UMB+VCPI without EMS. The reason for this configuration is whe 1) UMBPCI does not work (new hw), 2) no need for EMS (few programs use it) 3) free as much as possible Low-Memory for comon programs (EMS takes 64k of UMB)(very often needed). Will this configuration work??
