Why would anybody working with DOS 6.x put ``NOEMS'' on the EMM386
line?  I would say it's a left-over from DOS 5.0, where Expanded
and Extended memories (sic) were managed with two distinct pools,
and so whoever wanted max XMS had to be deprived of EMS.  In DOS
6 this is no more the case, AFAIK.  Do I miss something here?
