Hi!

HimemX 3.31 [Jul 17 2007] (c) 1995, Till Gerken 2001-2006 tom ehlert
Interface : XMS 3.00 80386 4G
Extended memory host for DOS (coordinates the usage of XMS and HMA)
HimemX is a device driver that is loaded in CONFIG.SYS.
Please place DEVICE=HIMEMX.EXE [options] before any driver using XMS.
options: [/MAX=####] [/METHOD:xxx] [/HMAMIN=n] [/NUMHANDLES=m]
[/TESTMEM:ON|OFF] [/VERBOSE] [/NOABOVE16] [/X] [/LOG]
/MAX=##### limit memory controlled by XMM 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
/HMAMIN=n Specifies minimum number of Kbs of HMA that a program
must request to gain access to the HMA (default: 0Kb)
--MORE--
/NOX2MAX32 No limit for XMS 2.0 free/avail. memory reports (default)
/NUMHANDLES=m Specifies number of XMS handles available (def: 48)
/TESTMEM:ON|OFF Performs or skips an extended memory test (def: OFF)
/VERBOSE Gives extra information
/NOABOVE16 Do not use INT 15h function E801h to detect >64M
/X Do not use INT 15h function E820h to detect >64M
/X2MAX32 Limit XMS 2.0 free/avail. memory report to 32M-1K
/LOG Logs the driver activity to a log file
C:>
Your problem is that the HIMEMX help screen does not
fit on one screen. Luckily I have the MORESYS driver
loaded so I can use > more$ to find the answer ;-)

PS: Your /MAX option only sets one upper limit, but another
limit is how much RAM the BIOS gives you. Reserved PCI / AGP
areas often make it hard to use more than 3.3 or 3.5 GB RAM.
