The bad experiences this individual has had are not typical. 386Max can,
and does work properly in plenty of systems, including several that I use
with C/C++ 7.0. ( Did you know that with a monochrome card, 386Max can give
you more than 700K free low memory, after installing disk caches, shells,
and other options ? ) However, I will admit that there can easily be subtle
configuration problems that can wreak havoc with 386Max, QEMM, and probably 
all the other memory managers. You may be interested to know that PC tested
several managers, including 386Max and QEMM. The essence of their rating was
that QEMM had some potential of recovering slightly more high DOS memory than
did 386Max, but that 386Max was the most dependable of all the products.
