For both the diskette and CD versions of the classic game "Beneath A Steel
Sky," use of Japheth's HIMEMX causes the game to fail during startup with
the error:
Fatal System Error
cs:eip = 8:9f6
Sorry!
I picked up a fragment of information sometime/somewhere that the game is
somewhat vulnerable to such errors, at least under Windows, because of the
memory manager it was developed with.
Reverting to HIMEM v3.26 (Aug 25 2006) makes the error go away.
Use of Japheth's JEMM386 with HIMEM v3.26 causes no problems here.
