Greetings all. Well, I went out and got QEMM 386 at least. I LOVE it. With the EMM 386 and HIMEM.SYS that came with DO$ 4.01 I couldn't do a warm boot (ctrl-alt-del), the system just froze, tight. With Qemm My system runs like a charm. Oh, its a so so 386-25 clone with AMI bios dated mid 90 2Meg ram. 3 Foppies. VGA (paradise chipset with 512K) and a few others. Thanks for the advice all. Now all I need is 8 Meg of ram (chuckle).

I used to have various reboot troubles with QEMM. Was always traced back to a memory conflict. Besure QEMM isn't using the area used by VGA adapters, hard drive controllers, and NICs, etc. Charles
