Just a short mention of QEMM like DesqView also from Quaterdeck systems.
We've been using it since August of last year and the latest releases also
support a loadhi command which used address space above 640.  You of course
must have some extended memory for QEMM to map into the lower 1mb.

If you can live with a CGA card you have a very big win in that you will have
some 738k of contiguous memory for dos and applications.  We do alot of
database work and simply couldn't do without the extra memory.  Mapmem or
chkdsk shows some 660k available with QEMM only.  Under DedqView I can make up
to a 610k partition and still have most of the LAN softare up above 640k.
Very nice.
