> But: DOOM does work with the current himem/emm386.

As for me this is true for the newest versions of himem/emm386 (July 2006) 
only. In fact, any DOS4G application didn't work with FD-Emm386 previously 
because my machine has 768 MB.

And "do work" doesn't mean "works well". For example, the MIDI music played in 
Doom sounds "strange" with FD-EMM386 on my SB-Live card. My guess is that this 
is due to missing interfaces in Emm386 (apart from the obscure GEMMIS 
interface), for example the documented "I/O trapping" interface (int 2Fh, 
ax=4A15h).
