Regarding the appended, in dr dos and it's later flavors, only emm386 is
used in 386 and later machines, it does double duty.  This is one of it's
advantages, among others, over ms and pc dos and their emm386 version.

Someone thus scribed:

Incorrect.  The himem.sys driver is needed for DOS to be able to use the
upper memory blocks of conventional memory space.  The emm386 driver is
used to create and manage access to either EMS or XMS or both.  The himem
driver is run first, then emm386.
