Hello Michael, nice to see you making EMM386 even more perfect.
I'm going to test AUGOS one more time because I know that as soon as I
put EMM386 2.04 out there, AUGOS is going to start breaking again,
starting with your system.
typical, isn't it? :)
rather than AUGOS. But if nothing surfaces by tonight, the new release
will go.
tiny requests for the help screen functionality:
-HIMEM's help screen is too long, no automatic pause on full screen.
No need to change that though.
-TEST parameter is not documented on helpscreen (HIMEM /?).
Perhaps currently helpscreen only shows the config.sys
(DEVICE=HIMEM.EXE) part, and not the HIMEM.EXE (commandline) part?
-change "Kbs" into "KBs" (HMAMIN part).
-if VERBOSE used on commandline, can you then skip showing every single
command for the DEVICE=HIMEM.EXE use and only show the commands
appropriate for HIMEM.EXE when started from commandline?
Below is what I have in mind, just ignore if it doesn't seem worth the
effort to you.
after summer I might get back to you on VDS behaviour in combination
with(out) VMware, FreeDOS kernel and UDMA2.SYS driver. Still strange
things happening, but not important enough yet.
with best regards,
Bernd Blaauw

HIMEM is a device driver that is loaded in CONFIG.SYS.
Please place DEVICE=HIMEM.EXE before any driver using XMS.
Use HIMEM /? or HIMEM /? | MORE to see appropriate list
for HIMEMs CONFIG.SYS parameters
HIMEM [/TEST] [/VERBOSE]
/TEST Performs an extended memory test
/VERBOSE Gives extra information

HIMEM [/MAX=####] [/METHOD:xxx] [/HMAMIN=n] [/NUMHANDLES=m]
[/TESTMEM:ON|OFF] [/VERBOSE] [/NOABOVE16] [/X] [/LOG]
/HMAMIN=n Specifies minimum number of KBs of HMA that a program
must request to gain access to the HMA (default: 0KB)
/LOG Logs the driver activity to a log file
/MAX=##### limit memory controlled by HIMEM to #####K
/METHOD:xxx Specifies the method to be used for A20 handling.
Possible values for xxx:
ALWAYSON Assume that A20 line is permanently ON
BIOS Use BIOS to toggle the A20 line
FAST Use port 92h, bypass INT 15h test
PS2 Use port 92h, bypass PS/2 test
KBC Use the keyboard controller
PORT92 Use port 92h always
/NOABOVE16 Do not use INT 15h function E801h to detect >64M
/NUMHANDLES=m Specifies number of XMS handles available (def: 72)
/TESTMEM:ON|OFF Performs or skips an extended memory test (def: OFF)
/VERBOSE Gives extra information
/X Do not use INT 15h function E820h to detect >64M
/X2MAX32 Limit XMS 2.0 free/available memory report to 32M-1K
