MS-Windows 3.0 is not compatible with QEMM 5.0 in 386 Enhanced or 286 Standard mode. Page 542 of the MS-Windows 3 manual states that memory managers such as 386Max (Qualitas), CEMM (Compaq), and QEMM (Quarter- Deck) may only be used when Windows 3 is started in the REAL mode. The problem is, Win3 in Standard and Enhanced mode does its own memory management, which conflicts with other memory managers noted above. Also, as the above utils use 386 protected mode for thier operation, Win3 cannot get the exclusive use of the processor it requires. Forthcoming versions of QEMM and 386Max are supposed to alleviate this problem. QEMM should be out RSN (REAL SOON NOW), and reports say that 386Max should be out in September.
