I Called Quarterdeck about this, their solution is to NOT RUN
WINDOWS in protected mode, but BUY THEIR DESKVIEW to run win85
in it.  I had a few choice words about compatibility.  Further
research indicates that if you could switch off QEMM EMS but
keep everything else functioning, then you would have the best
of all worlds.  

In any Case, If I am right, WIN 3.0 finally handles highmem,
expanded and extended memory automatically, making QEMM obsolete.

Any confirmation?

thanks,
