I am now running DOS 5 with QEMM 5.12.  I use "device=qemm386.sys ram
rom nosh nrh" to load QEMM.  I "loadhi" the following drivers: ansi,
smartdrive, doskey, mouse, and setver.  I also set DOS=HIGH.  With this
setup, I have about 637,000 bytes free.

Starting with this configuration, I then run either Windows 386 enhanced
mode, or DV 2.32, depending on my mood.  Perhaps there may be a problem with
the versions of DV 386 that you are running.  I know that the package
I bought in April had a sticker on it touting Windows 3.0 compatibility.

I understand that some users are having problems with DOS 5,
especially with some mouse drivers.  This is really a shame because
with the combination of DOS 5, QEMM, DV, and Windows, I have more
flexibility than ever.
