To Mohan, and anyone else encountering an unstable MX=10 under Win3.1:
My experience is that MX=10 is stable only when your shell (in this case
Win3.1) does -not- swap memory to disk.  This is a purely empirical finding;
I haven't the slightest idea why it should be that way.  Try disabling the
virtual memory feature accessed via the "386" icon within thej "Control
Panel" group of Windows.  BTW, I found that MX=10 works fine under Windows
with 386EMM.SYS set to NOEMS and also works with QEMM386.SYS set to NOEMS
under DOS.
