------------------------------------------------------------------


EMS.COM gives you 11 pieces of information about your EMS Manager.

1. EMS version
2. Page frame address
3. Free System Pages
4. Total System Pages
5. Page Map Info Buffer Size
6. Total Expanded Memory
7. Free Expanded Memory
8. Volatile / Non Volatile EMS (Stays on a cold boot)

EMS Version 4.0 and above only

9. Total Handles Used
10. Total System Handles
11. A listing of all used handles with handle number,name and size

In EMS Version 4.0 Managers EMS.COM creates a file called "HANDLES.EMS" in the
directory in which it was called. This file contains a listing of the used
EMS handles.

I have tested the program in the following conditions:

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:
386SX 16MHz
AMI Bios w/Chips & Technologies Neat Chipset
VGA BW Monitor
QEMM386.SYS
(2) Seagate ST157A Hardisks
640 Conventional Memory
Video / BIOS Shadow RAM
2 Megs RAM on motherboard 2(1M X 9 SIMM)
3 Megs RAM on AST Advantage Board (256k chips)
2 Megs RAM on MegaBit Board 18(1M x 1 DIP)

I tested the program using four different combinations:

1. Using QEMM386.SYS as an EMS Driver
With the two memory boards set to extended memory

2. Using the EMS40.SYS which comes with the
MegaBit Board. (QEMM386.SYS set to no EMS)

3. Using the NEATEMM.SYS driver and setting the
EMS enable Bit in the XCMOS

4. On a AST 286 Premuium with the AST REMM.SYS
driver and 1 Meg EMS RAM.
