Umm.. Correct me if I am mistaken... But I never expected Windows 3.0 to
work with QEMM on a 386. Windows 3.0 is supposed to handle protected mode
memory. This means that it would collide with any software that also
attempts to directly manipulate protected mode memory (like QEMM does).
This is also the case for Windows 386 2.11 which tries to deal with
protected memory directly (though less effectively than Windows 3.0). I
haven't received my update yet, but I am expected that I will have to have
different CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in order to deal with Windows
3.0 and non-Windows (i.e., plain DOS) software. My guess is a lot of us
will be rebooting a lot when we move between Window 3.0 and DOS
configurations... todd
