For me it was usually hang / illegal instruction for small EMM= values and spontaneous reboot (page fault??) for bigger values.
AUGOS crashes with low EMM values somewhere below 2M and it needs a slowdown program for any PC above approximately a 30Mhz 80486. I don't see the memory requirement as a bug with EMM386 unless there is evidence presented that it is at fault. The solution is not to starve the RTM extender version AUGOS depends on by allowing it insufficient memory.
EMM386 2.04 corrects a problem with EMS applications ONLY when a low fixed EMM= value is present. That's a rare environment combination nowadays, so the bugfix is relatively minor. The second bugfix, EMS reallocation shrink, addresses an even smaller potential audience.
In the same fashion, a small percentage of users are affected by the HIMEM fix, unless the /NUMHANDLES option is used. Then the fix is pretty much mandatory.
There is no great need for most users to grab the forthcoming EMM386/HIMEM update.
AUGOS doesn't use EMS from what I can see. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
