About EMM386.SYS EMM386.SYS is an expanded memory manager that lets you use extended memory above 1MB to emulate expanded memory so that you can use application programs that support LIM 4.0. The full syntax for the command line that activates EMM386.SYS is: DEVICE=[d:][path]EMM386.SYS[size] [X:mmmm-nnnn][Mx] The items in brackets are optional; you do not type the brackets when you enter the command. The following paragraphs describe the items in the command line. d:path specifies a pathname. You need to add the pathname if the file EMM386.SYS is not in the root directory of the disk used to boot MS-DOS. For example, if EMM386.SYS is in a directory called \DOS on drive C:, be sure to include a pathname, like this: DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.SYS size allows you to specify the number of kilobytes of extended memory to use as expanded memory. The default is 256KB. For example, to convert 1MB (1024KB) of extended memory to LIM 4.0 expanded memory, include this command in your CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=EMM386.SYS 1024 Using MS-DOS With Your Computer 3-33
