May be, all, but emm386x8.zip doesn't work for me.

1. You lost one more paragraph (at A000).
2. You lost possibility to expand base memory (over 640k).
BTW, merging is performed by EMM386 driver - FD itself (yet?) doesn't joins
UMB to base memory. I not tested, how behaves MS-DOS - I not have EMM386,
which not joins A000 to base memory itself or not translates A000 to A001.

Sure, this works and very convenient. When me was not enough memory for
running Clarion programs, I increase available memory by reusing A000
segment for this.
