I'll testify to the awfulness of the EMS driver IBM provides with DOS 4.0.
I could not get it to work reliably with a number of commercial
applications. Its option syntax is also incredibly bad.
I would also advise you to stay away from Above Disc. Among other problems
it proved to be extremely slow and completely locked up when I tried it
with Quattro Pro.
On the other hand, I too highly recommend QEMM-386. I am eagerly awaiting
the latest version with Manifest...todd
