	I found that new version of the DOS XMS memory manager was released in Sep 05 2015. "New" home page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/himemx/ Update your links and download HimemX 3.34. To see its usage just run HIMEMX.EXE

Japheth didn't want to be actual maintainer, so 3.33 wasn't really ever released (although it had the "jmp $+2" 386 fix). Similarly with 3.34, which was also unofficial, that was regarding modern memory holes, not well-tested, and that was a third-party contribution by Rod Pemberton. This SF.net version is just a minor cleanup by Mateusz Viste.

So don't get your hopes up too high. I don't think it's actively maintained even now. But it's fairly stable at this point.
