 OpenDos, doesnt like to have both himem.sys and emm386 loaded at the same
time. It barfs at you when you try this, and says that you don't have to
run himem.sys, because all functions are in emm386 and loading himem.sys
is a waste of memory....
 But if you load both himem.sys and emm386 it works with umb's. So one
should just ignore that warning message from emm386....
