DOS ain't dead

more EMS support in XP (Announce)

The problem with DN (and others) is now fixed.
This was a fail in the Restore Page Map (48h) function.

I set the memory size back to 256M. This will fail the test above,
but DN still works, and also the Borland tools seems to be happy.

There is currently no limit to the size of memory available except for the 16-bit FFFF limit for each handle.
For maximum usage the memory size should be as large as possible.

Testing is needed to see if this creates problems.
