This version of HIMEM contains revisions made by Aitor Santamar�a Merino. Specifically, HIMEM command line feedback has been updated with recent features; the TESTMEM option has been improved, the standard Microsoft HIMEM option HMAMIN is now supported (although I'm not sure if anything can really use it); and HIMEM now recognizes the suffixes M for megabytes, G for gigabytes, and K for kilobytes in its option values. Note that 'K' was always the default for option amounts, so effectively 'K' doesn't do anything new. Also note that 'M' and 'G' are true programmer-style multipliers of 1024, and not lamer hard disk manufacturing multipliers of 1000.
In addition, using the EMM386R3.ZIP latest beta file set as the gold standard, I updated HIMEM source, the EMM386 LSM file based on Tom Ehlert's latest version, and a few doc updates. This task, incidentally was the work of well over two hours spent mostly on documentation and admin changes and synchronization, to reference my earlier comments on the list about the actual time needed for those type of tasks.
At some point, the new HIMEM help and history is going to have to be merged and added to the standard EMM386Rx file set and everything cleaned up, but I didn't have time. Doing everything correctly and well will be the work of many hours -- again, not minutes -- I currently don't have available. November, perhaps.
In the HIMEM changes, I slightly updated and corrected to typical technical English several of the original modifications, but that's it for my input on this HIMEM revision. I have not strongly tested the changes beyond the feedback and booting into the new revision, but it looks good. Any problems, let me know.
All hail Aitor Santamar�a Merino for his improvements in HIMEM usability.
