  (No reply for a few days, so I guess I will...)

  Run TCINST.EXE (the install/setup program).  Select [O]ptions/[E]nvironment/
[O]ptions for Editor/[M]ake use of EMS memory  On

  Of course not.  Set up a ramdisk in EMS, and tell Turbo C to do your
compiling/linking there.  (This would probably include changing some other
stuff in TCINST, as well as perhaps just running the program there.  I don't
know, it isn't a problem for me... I use the MetaWare compiler :)
