I'm using 386MAX 5.0 with Windows 3.0, 4dos, and several TSRs, and it
works great.  I don't know anything much on QEMM tho, but here are my
experiences with 386 MAX:

1. I bought their previous release to 5.0 about 2 months before 5.0
came out.  I sent in the registration, and they sent out 5.0 (without
my asking) about a month later.  However, 5.0 didn't work with windows,
and they said so.  I didn't have windows then, so I didn't care, but about
a month later when I got windows, I was going to call them and see if
they had a fix ready.  That day, before I called, an update arrived in
the mail to make it work with Windows!

2. When I installed Windows, I had trouble getting it to work at first.
I called the vendor of my PC and spent about an hour with their tech
support and only improved things slightly.  I then called Qualitas
tech support, and they were busy but said they'd call me back.  I got
the call back about an hour later and they had it all figured out for
me inside 5 minutes.

What I really like about 386 MAX is their Maximize utility: If you have
space in high memory fragmented into maybe 4 different regions of various
sizes, and have 6 TSRs to load into them of various sizes, figuring out
how to fit those programs into those regions in the best way is pretty
impossible.  Run Maximize and it tries out the thousands of combinations
that are available and sets everything up for the optimum configuration.
For me, I spent about a whole day with the 386max version that preceeded
Maximize getting it set up, vs. 5 minutes with Maximize, and Maximize
gained me 3K over what I had _thought_ was the best I could do.
