 From article <443@latvax8.lat.oz>, by CCMK@latvax8.lat.oz (Mark Kosten - Computer Centre, La Trobe Uni.):

Since I posted this article (unfortunately before May 22, which got me into
trouble) I have found that win /r (for real mode) is the correct switch.

I use QEMM to make using my network software bearable (it takes up about
150 KB worth of valuable conventional memory).  QEMM not only makes
expanded memory out of extended but also allows loading of device
drivers into high memory.

The question is: can I do away with QEMM and load all necessary drivers
and network TSRs and then load windows and still get lots of usable
memory?  If I wish to run an application that needs expanded memory,
such as WordPerfect, can it still work well in the windows environment,
especially with little left below 640 KB?

By the way, I have a 80386 computer with 5 MB memory.
