Speaking of Norton's Disk Cache, particularly ncache-f ...

I use ncache-f under QEMM, on a 386 with 4Megs, and I cannot get it to
run in extended memory.  I can set aside a chunk from QEMM for ncache to
use, but ncache flashes a message about not using extended memory that
is shared with expanded memory (or something like that, I haven't
managed to hang onto the message long enough to memorize it yet).  I can
run ncache-f in the expanded memory that QEMM provides, but I'd like to
try it in extended memory.  (BTW, this is all under DOS3.3 right now,
soon to be DOS5.0)

Can anyone offer any suggestions for doing this?

thanks,
-bob,mon.
