NR> I was wondering if it is worth my money to purchase the QEMM
NR> memory manager for DOS when running MS-Windows 3.0 or 3.1?

It provides much more functionality than the HIMEM/EMM386 combo.
Quarterdeck claims that QEMM is much faster too !

For example, QEMM includes optimize.  This gem of a utility optimizes your high
memory space by loading your device drivers and TSRs contiguously thereby
saving memory.  Also, QEMM also provides STEALTH RAM, increasing your himem to
a claimed 200+ K.

However, it you don't mind, IF YOU HAVE THE NECESSARY HARDWARE (8Mb RAM and a
60Mb harddisk), the real solution to your problem is OS/2 2.0 which manages
memory much more effeciently than QEMM and cost only $49 with the Windows
Upgrade deal while QEMM cost about $69.

** Disclaimer ** Please guys, I am only offering what I deem as a viable
solution, NOT touting OS2 2.0.

Good Health.
