For both the diskette and CD versions of the classic game "Beneath A Steel 
Sky," use of Japheth's HIMEMX causes the game to fail during startup with 
the error:
    Fatal System Error
    cs:eip = 8:9f6
    Sorry!

I picked up a fragment of information sometime/somewhere that the game is 
somewhat vulnerable to such errors, at least under Windows, because of the 
memory manager it was developed with.

Reverting to HIMEM v3.26 (Aug 25 2006) makes the error go away.

Use of Japheth's JEMM386 with HIMEM v3.26 causes no problems here.
