	If you don't have a 386 machine, QEMM won't do you any good.  It is 
a memory manager for the 386.  I use Desqview and a 286, and have found that
the only good use for extended memory is to make swapping to disk very fast.
I just set  up a 2MB ramdisk, and point the swapdisk to it.  That is the only
use for 286 extended memory, because your programs don't run in protected mode.
	If your memory is LIM 4.0, it is much more useful to Desqview, because
programs can actually run in it, unlike in extended memory or LIM 3.2

	Hope this helps.
