Situation :
   I have a Nec PowerMate Portable 386sx with an Intel AboveBoard with
   4Mb of RAM.  The Nec has a full 640K base RAM and VGA. I also
   have a 3COM Etherlink II board running Sun's PC-NFS, and a 
   Microsoft BUSS Mouse.

   I recently bought DesqView (V 2.2) and QEMM.  GOAL : to be able
   to run Ventura publisher 2.0 in extended memory via Desqview
   and QEMM.

PROBLEM :
   It almost works.  I have installed DesqView, rename xdv.com to dv.com,
   execute dv, the open a window and run the memroy status program.
   It tells me there is 3300K of available extended memory and
   the largest block size is 430K!!!  The DesqView manual says that
   there should be 550K for the largset block!!!

   Ventura, of course, complains about not enough memory.

   My config.sys entry for qemm.sys is DEVICE = qemm.sys.  The
   copyright notice for qemm comes up when I boot.  The INTEL
   memory is active, because both the hardware test and the 
   INTEL chkmem program (and dv) recognize it (and I had previously
   been using it as a ram disk : no longer installed in my config.sys)

Apeal for HELP:
   Help!.   Please post to the net as a misunderstanding between
   the NIC and my site manager has caused a situation where no 
   email can come to our site from domain mailers.  I love computer!

   Thank you for any help,
