I'm not sure that it actually would.  SEF is the person to ask about
dosemu (as opposed to doscmd, which doesn't give a damn where its
memory comes from) as he's the one tinkering with it.  I suspect
though that it wouldn't care either, unless it were going to be
calling the BIOS that was responsible for the area.
