HimemSX, another HimemX variant (Announce)

Hello,

I'm proudly announcing HimemSX, source to be found on github:

https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/HimemSX

HimemSX is an XMM, implementing XMS v3.5.

The SX in HimemSX stands for "Super-eXtended" - HimemSX can manage extended memory up to 1 terrabyte :-D .

To allow some tests with this "super tool", there's a patched version, also on github, of Jack R. Ellis' nice tool RDISK ( a ramdisk driver ). It uses HimemSX's new functions to allocate its XMS memory beyond the 4 GB barrier, thus it doesn't need any "legacy" extended memory.

Here's the HimemSX readme:

MS-DOS forever!
