There are many things that qemm does that himem/emm386 don't do. Like
properly handle upper memory blocks, allowing you to loadhi drivers and TSR's.
Yes, Quarterdeck has oficially said that 5.11 is compatible with windows. I
use it with my SCSI based 386/25 clone with no trouble. I can loadhi lots of
stuff and save over 30K of lower memory so I have over 580K available to DOS.
Other people have actually been able to get 600K free.
