What version is that? I have QEMM 97, which reports itself as version 9.00.

Frankly, I don't mind if the rest is unused. Even 256MB total of EMS + XMS is a vast amount for DOS and would be just fine!

The thing is that on DR-DOS, the multitasking requires the DR-DOS memory manager -- and on PC-DOS I would like to get DESQview working, and that requires QEMM386 to work efficiently.
