	I have a fax from Multisoft Corp. (PC-Kwik) that says:
	(slightly shortened, dated 4/12/91)
___________________________________________________________________________

	Multisoft Compatibility Information

	Patch for QEMM 5.0 - 5.12

	In certain cases, when QEMM is asked to resize memory, the
	memory allocation fails. This may occur in expanded or xms memory.
	When the lending feature of Super PC-Kwik is used, this memory
	resizing is used extensively. Symptoms include machine rebooting, 
	or system hanging. QuarterDeck has provided the following patch
	to QEMM to resolve the problem. The patch has solved problems with
	WordPerfect 5.1 and Microsoft Word 5.5 and may be effective on
	other problems with these symptoms.

	This patch alters the QEMM file. Please apply this patch only
	on a copy of the original file. [other stuff deleted].

	Patch for QEMM v5.10, 5.11, 5.12

	1) Change to QEMM directory: CD \QEMM
	2) Type: DIR QEMM386.SYS
	3) If the time of the file is 5:10am, 5:11am or 5:12am continue,
	otherwise this is not the correct version. Stop and check which
	version you have.
	4) Type: COPY QEMM386.SYS QEMMOLD.SYS
	5) Type DEBUG QEMM386.SYS
	6) Debug prompt is '-', Type: S 100 L F000 75 6 1 0E
	7) You should get a segment:offset returned as XXXX:YYYY
	8) At the Debug prompt, type: E XXXX:YYYY EB
	9) Type: W
	10) You should see a message, n number of bytes written.
	11) Type: Q
	12) You should be back at DOS. Reboot the machine.
	13) If there are problems, restore the original file by changing
	to the QEMM directory then type: COPY QEMMOLD.SYS QEMM386.SYS .

	6) Debug prompt is '-', Type: S 100 L F000 75 6 1 0E
	Patch for QEMM 5.0 (only changes noted)

	3) time should be 5:00am
	6) Debug prompt is '-', Type: S 100 L F000 75 7 1 0E
___________________________________________________________________________

	This patch fixed system crashes under Win3/QEMM/PC-Kwik
	running WordPerfect for us. Also PC-Kwik is an excellent
	product IMHO !
