TP6 only uses EMS, but actually seems to have bugs with the usage of it.
I guess that it assumes something with the order of EMS handles or
frame address which can change in a multitasking context. In any case,
EMS can live together with DPMI 32-bit (Win95, Win NT, CWSDPMI or DR-DOS),
multitasking (Win95, Win NT or DR-DOS) provided it's well programmed
My own editor, programmed with TP6 and using EMS, drives the GNAT Ada
compiler based on DJGPP: no problem with EMS, at least....
