Hi, there.

In response to some of the questions this passage has raised, I just
wanted to suggest a different possible interpretation than the idea of
DJGPP using EMS. Please let me invite the poster to clarify this point.

As I read this announcement, maybe the part about XMS/EMS memory refers to
the non-DJGPP version, which seems to be aimed at people using 286
systems, for example, which do support XMS and EMS but not 32-bit DJGPP.
Applications taking advantage of XMS on a 286 as well as higher processors
include such historical programs as Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3, for example.

Anyway, that's just a guess inviting a response (correction?).

Most respectfully,
