This will be transparent to any program, allowing any program to take advantage of the extra memory. Of course, it remains to be seen how well this works, but removing the EMS support from programs and putting it into the OS is the right way to go. Hardware EMS memory compatible with EMS 4.0 will be compatible with PC-DOS 3.4 which is rumored for April-June '88 release.
