	QEMM + StarGROUP on a 6386 machine: no problems encountered here,
other than the inherent difficulty of living with the bulky MS Redirector.
I converted the raw 8MB system into DOS + 7MB of expanded memory, into the
later went a 4MB ramdisk. Many QEMM problems are really conflicts of memory
usage by devices unnoticed by the user, particularly stealing video memory
for device drivers (a poor idea). If a question arises about usage then a
short test with DEBUG to view the region, and if necessary to try writing
to a byte, should resolve the issues. Loading high everything in sight
usually works too, except for the FILES= part of things if one uses Excel.
