EMS expanded memory specification, I think was originally through a board, but you could emulate it if you had more than 640K iirc XMS extended memory specification, had to do with memory above 640K and below 1024 because of the intel 8086 architecture.
Boy that was a long time ago. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 3:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Tech Resume I don't believe that DOS had either of those two...

Claimed 11 years experience and expert level. I just had to ask if they got much call for those skills these days, and what the difference was between EMS and XMS (and a few other curly questions) :-) Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: WL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2008 8:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Tech Resume Clearly there are dozens of views on the topic. I will add that I don't have just one resume. The resume is specific to the position being applied for. Relevance, not volume. Provide it in as many formats as may be valuable for the recipient - .pdf, .doc, .swf, etc. For a technology position, do you need to include on your resume that you deployed DOS6.0 on 286s back in the last millennium?
