You need a later version of QEMM (5.12 I think) or you will have to patch
5.10 or 5.11 to work with it... Win 3.00a has a different DOSX.EXE that
QEMM can't handle... QEMM <= 5.11 notices this and then dumps you back to DOS.
You will notice that the monitor will stay in graphics mode after you get
dumped out.

I have a debug patch (I got it from Corp. Software) that makes QEMM 5.10
or 5.11 compatible with Win 3.00a. Mail me if you want me to send it. Enough
requests and I'll post it.

Funny thing that Microsoft or Quarterdeck have not publicized this more...
The best idea would be to call Q-deck and ask for the latest QEMM (5.12 or
greater).
