[comp.windows.ms.programmer] WIN3 Enh mode fails on EMS de-allocation, WHY??

jim@shograf.COM (jim morris) (03/05/91)

it appears that windows 3 in 386-Enhanced mode  running a DOS window fails when
EMS memory is de-allocated. Microsoft Tech support hinted that
EMS support is limited in some way. Why would Microsoft not do a full EMS emulation??
Does anyone else know what this problem is??


I discovered this problem while running Borlands BCC in a DOS window, and got an EMS error.
So I ran thier emstest program and got an error when EMS was de-allocated. It works fine
with QEMM or 386MAX, and no windows!!

Any comments anyone?
