Just for the record, above suggestion was by Gautier
in a post to the caldera-opendos list on Mon, 08 Mar 1999.
I just forwarded the entire thread from that discussion to Bernie.

Yes, let us know if the above works for you as well, nice to know.
Have anyone tried to use himemsys from MS-DOS 7 with other versions
of DOS, like PC-DOS? Any benefits from doing something like that?
Does other DOS versions have any problems seeing memory above 64MB or
is this peculiar to Dr-DOS? Just curios.
Btw: As someone mentioned here before, Edit from MS-DOS 7 works
just fine with other versions of DOS, at least PC-DOS. It is much
improved over the old MS-DOS edit.com. The old version was basically
a small com program that called Qbasic/edit (right?), while the new
version is a standalone editor - capable of handling very large
files - compared to the old.
For other and maybe better alternatives, check out the txtedit pages
