Subj : DOSBOX/2 question.

On reading the thread on DOSBOX for OS/2 I have another question about it.  I 
think this echo might be more on-topic for it.

Can this tool provide the equivalent of a DOS-VDM session which can be run as a 
windowed session in OS/2 that also has the ability to extend DOS 'regular' 
memory up into the 600K-700K range by making the graphics equivalent to 16 
color mode?  When you do this with a 'standard' OS/2 DOS-VDM session or set it 
to monochrome graphics, you can extend the basic memory for low memory use up 
as far as even 729K in some systems.

And that said, can you get assignable XMS and EMS upper memory use as well?

Now on a cross platform question here too..

Since DOSBOX can be run in LINUX or under various incantations of WIN-later 
versions, can you also get the higher memory availability and the XMS-EMS 
memory in those platforms as well?


Thanks!
