Yes. Only 4 bytes of code are changed from Micro$oft's original code,
allowing win-98 systems to not crash when run on systems with more than
1.5 gb of installed ram. Even more significant than not crashing is
that win-98 will use at least 3 gb (if not 4?) when 4 gb of ram is
installed.

What you will download is Vmm98sed.zip (about 1mb in size). When you
unpack it, you will find a reproduction of the Windows directory tree
that helps tell you where to put these files.

I remember when a 1M D/L for a 4 byte patch would have been seen as
terrible bloat!
