I have a growing amount of software which can take advantage of EMS
memory.  Problem is, I don't have EMS RAM.  I have an extra megabyte
of extended memoryi, on a 386sx PC.

My understanding is that QEMM offers a clever way to fool applications
looking to use EMS.  

I'm interested in hearing from anyone using QEMM.  What are the pluses
and the "gotchas".  

By the way, I am not looking to use MSWindows just to make use of my
extra RAM.  QEMM seems a way to avoid Windows altogether.  

Thanks for any help and advice.
