Larry,

QEMM is a program which streamlines the management of EMS and XMS as well
as the High Memory Area (HMA).  It is easier to use than DOS 5.0's
EMM386.EXE, but it achieves a similar result.  No program can break the
640k barrier in DOS.  DOS is inherently a 640k provider.  OS/2 in native
mode is an example of a OS that breaks that barrier (although when you
start a DOS session, you are still limited to conventional RAM). If
you have a 386 faster than 20MHz, I would recommend looking into using
EMM386.EXE (+HIMEM.SYS) or QEMM if you have the money.  I find QEMM very
worthwhile, but it is difficult to tweak it for maximum memory and
performance.
