but the thing is, Borland C++ 3.1 will not load in DOS (at least on
my 386/40) with QEMM386 with the NOEMS switch

my usuall setyup is device=qemm.sys ram noems .. is there someting
wrong with using both switches, well hen i took NOEMS off, BC++ (DOS)
workds fine.. and that was also in the little install booklet in the
BC++ pacakgae... ? any ideas?
