Want more? I forgot to mention it provides Virtual Memory too.

The author writes a small DOS program that requests memory via XMS.
Then he takes a PC with 8 MB RAM, replaces "KRNL386.EXE" with COMMAND.COM,
so that when the PC starts, you get COMMAND running on VM0 inside a 32-bit
VMM world.
He runs that DOS program, and magic! The program is able to gather 12MB of
XMS memory.
