  Here are some miscellaneous questions regarding Windows 3, QEMM and DOS 5...
  1) What is WINHIRAM.VXD?

When you run in 386Enhanced mode, Windows takes over the memory management
functions of QEMM.  WINHIRAM.VXD is the "glue" that QEMM uses to tell Windows
what's mapped where, so Windows and QEMM can gracefully pass control of the
memory management hardware back and forth.
