The only reservation I have is in running CLIPPER applications using expanded memory. I don't recall whether I had a conflict there with QEMM or rather with Desqview, but whatever it was, I now use the switch CLIPPER=e:000 in the environment to defeat it. The problem was probably with DV anyway. I'm very happy with QEMM, all in all. --WmP-- --- ~ DeLuxe 1.11a19 #3744 william.pipher@canremote.uucp

I'd like to add something new to the EMS discussion. I have a DELL System 200
which has simms slots for up to 4 mb of ram. I have 2mb in it configured as extended
memory [I got a great deal on the chips] and use part of it for a disk cache and the rest
as a ram drive. My problem is that the hardware registers only support LIM EMS 3.2.
OK, so very few applications understand LIM 3.2, but I think I can use it with Lotus
and possibly Windows 2.01. Does anybody know if LIM 3.2 drivers are available or if
any other EMS drivers will work with the LIM 3.2 registers?
Please reply by E-mail. Thanks in advance.
