Which of the '386 memory management programs (QEMM, QRAM, 386^MAX, HEADROOM -
are there any others I should know about?)  is best?  My sole criterion
for 'best' is that the program can load as many TSRs/Device Drivers/etc. as
possible above 640K.

How much can I expect to stick up there?  I'm working on a Compaq 386 with 
2 megs ram and EGA graphics (Video 7  'VEGA' board).

(The application software consists of several interacting TSRs designed
to interlink some commercial database and graphics programs with some
custom programs.  These TSRs are currently being 'managed' with PopDrop,
but - for technical reasons I won't elaborate on here - the continual
swapping in/out of the TSRs is no longer an adequate system.)

-- Thanks.
