I have a question about QEMM.

I have an old 16 Mhz Compaq Deskpro and am trying to get QEMM to recognize 
the top 384K in my first megabyte of memory.  What command line options are
there, if any, that will allow QEMM to reclaim this extra bit of useful
memory?  I am told that this 384k usually sits very high in the address
space (near the 16 Megabyte area) and is not normally recognized as extended
memory.  It's usually used to shadow the system and EGA BIOS.
     There are other expanded memory managers that will successfully reclaim
this memory.  386max by Qualitas and Micemm by Micronics will recognize the
top 384k but lack the capabilities to take advantage of Desqview's screen
virtualization and other 386 only enhancement.
