DOS/4GW

DOS/4GW

DOS/4GW is a 32-bit DOS extender that allows DOS programs to eliminate the 640 KB conventional memory limit by addressing up to 32 MB of extended memory on Intel 80386 and above machines. It can operate within MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS and other DOS clones, the DOS boxes of OS/2, Microsoft Windows, Windows NT and Windows 95, and DOS emulators such as DOSBox. It was developed by [http://www.tenberry.com/ Tenberry Software] as a subset of DOS/4G and was distributed with the Watcom C compiler.

Functioning as a highly flexible and reuseable memory extension library, it allowed programmers to access extended memory without programming specialized code. It was made widely popular by computer games like "Doom".
