After spending 5 hours switching back and forth between the Windows
Disks and XGA Driver Diskettes; using Setup; VGA and XGA modes, etc.
I started to compare the files with the same name from the IBM disks
and the Windows disks.  As it turns out, IBM just copied the files 
directly from the Windows diskettes.

Now the Windows diskettes contain files which are compressed.  The IBM
generated files were not compressed.  The Setup program expects OEM
driver files to not be compressed.  Therefore, it installed the compressed
files assuming they weren't compressed and said "I'm done!".  But 
of course, it didn't work.

The solution is to use the Expand program on each of the installed files.
Then Enhanced Mode works.

This problem is rather different.  There is a conflict between QEMM 5.1x
and Windows 3.0a (at least) when using the XGA.  After spending 100 minutes
on the phone with one of the most helpful and intelligent Tech Support people
that I have ever had the pleasure of asking assistance from, Quarterdeck 
decided that this was a problem that they will have to perform research on
and find a fix for.  I hope to be able to post an announcement of the patch
in a week or two.  Quarterdeck Tech Support is GREAT!
