This is a list of known programs that require Expanded Memory (EMS) in DOS, in the sense that they other do not run at all, or have important features not working when EMS is unavailable. Running these programs requires an EMS board, a chipset with built-in EMS support, or an EMS device driver, such as EMM386 or JEMM386.
