Does anyone have any advice on how to best install MS-DOS 5.0 and
QEMM-386 5.12 together? In specific:

1. Is it safe to set DOS=HIGH,UMB in CONFIG.SYS when using QEMM instead
   of DOS 5.0's HIMEM.SYS?
2. Is it safe to use QEMM's LOADHI instead of DOS' high memory loaders?
3. Does DOSKEY have any problems with QEMM?

So far, I've played it cautious and have only installed DOS 5.0 on an
old 286 box that isn't needed for anything critical. Everything seems to
run fine on the 286 (even with OnTrack in use). However, I have yet to
load DOS 5.0 on my 386 with QEMM (currently running MS-DOS 4.01).

If anyone has any experience running MS-DOS 5.0 on a Gateway 2000 386/33
with QEMM-386, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
