Yes, this is VERY GOOD news from Microsoft.  As reported in this weeks
InfoWorld (page 13), Quarterdeck was about to release their new QEMM 5.1,
claiming "the ablity to run Windows with device and program drivers loaded
above video memory", but "Microsoft said it couldn't be done."  Thus,
Quarterdeck informed Microsoft how they were going to accomplish this
impossible feat, and Microsoft asked Quarterdeck to delay shipment while
they developed a virtual device driver, XVD.  This XVD will be bundled
with QEMM and 386 Max to make Windows 3.0 compatible with the memory
managers.

Wonderful !!!!  Thank you, Microsoft.  This is DESPARATELY needed.
