In responst to a post by hp0p+@andrew.emu.edu (Hokkun Pang):

QEMM 5.11 will now indeed work with Windows 3.0.  

Apart from freeing up a LOT of vital memory from the DOS prompt (up to 605k),
it will give you REAL LIM4.0EMS support, which Windows does NOT.  In fact,
I have yet to find a program which works with the EMS Windows Supplies.

QEMM does _SEEM_ to slow down the system a little, but I have noticed no 
performance drops in actual runtime.

In all, if you can get it working with Windows, then it is well worth the
effort.  It would probably be a good idea though to try to get DOS 5.0 
first.

As for Disk caches, QEMM will load SMARTDRV.SYS Into HIgh Memory, but will 
NOT load HYPERDISK into the HMA, which is kinda a burn on those who use
that caching program.

Hope that helps some!
