QEMM's primary advantage on 386 machines (it does require a 386) is
to load drivers and other such things into high memory, giving you
more room in any type of DOS program.  It's especially nice when
you're using a network or other large-driver type of device.

However, in order to do it, it grabs about 800K of your memory once
you count in all of the things it does.  

Works great with SMARTDRV.SYS and Windows in all modes.
