                      ■τQEMM and Microsoft Windows

  QEMM is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 3.0 and 3.1.
  QEMM automatically provides 8K-24K more memory for running
  DOS programs inside Windows 386 enhanced mode.

  Also, you can use QEMM's VIDRAM feature to extend the amount of
  memory available to DOS text-based programs running in Windows by
  up to 96K.  (For information, see Chapter 6 in the QEMM manual.)

  If you install Windows after installing QEMM, be sure to run
  QSETUP and select "Specify Microsoft Windows directory."  This
  selection will add the line SystemROMBreakPoint=false to your
  SYSTEM.INI file, a Windows configuration file, to ensure that
  Windows runs optimally with QEMM.
                ■τQEMM and Microsoft Windows (Continued)

  In the unlikely event that you experience problems with Windows
  after installing QEMM, see the text file WINFLOW.TEC in the
  \QEMM\TECHNOTE directory.  You can view technotes with QEMM
  Setup by selecting "View QEMM hints technotes and READ.ME" at
  main menu.
                   ■τQEMM and DESQview or DESQview/X

  If you are using DESQview or DESQview/X, you can increase the
  amount of memory in each window by using the Stealth ROM
  feature. To find out if you are using Stealth ROM, select
  "Review or change QEMM parameters" from the main QEMM Setup menu.
  Then look for the selection "Stealth system and video ROMs." If
  you see the word "Mapping" or "Frame" at the end of that line,
  Stealth ROM is already enabled. If you see the word "Off," you
  can enable Stealth ROM by typing "S" or hitting the ENTER key,
  then following the on-screen instructions.  Online Help will tell
  you more about the Mapping and Frame methods of Stealth ROM.

  If you have DOS version 5 or 6, QEMM's installation places the
  command DOS=HIGH in your CONFIG.SYS file (if it is not already
              ■τQEMM and DESQview or DESQview/X (Continued)

  there). This is a DOS command that loads part of DOS and DOS
  BUFFERS into the HMA (the first 64K of memory above 1MB).

  You may be able to increase the amount of memory in DESQview or
  DESQview/X windows by deleting DOS=HIGH from CONFIG.SYS. To find
  out, first run Memory Status from inside DESQview or DESQview/X.
  Make a note of the figure in the bottom right under "Largest
  Available Expanded Memory."  Then delete DOS=HIGH from your
  CONFIG.SYS and run Optimize by typing OPTIMIZE at the DOS prompt.

  When Optimize completes, run Memory Status from inside DESQview
  or DESQview/X and check "Largest Available Expanded Memory"
  again.  If it is a larger number than before, you are better off
              ■τQEMM and DESQview or DESQview/X (Continued)

  without DOS=HIGH. Otherwise, add the line DOS=HIGH back to
  CONFIG.SYS and re-run Optimize.
                          ■τQEMM and DR DOS 6

  DOS-Up is compatible with DR DOS 6, but not DR DOS 5. Like
  DOS-Up, DR DOS can load selected parts of DOS into upper
  memory. However, we recommend you use DOS-Up. When you use DOS-
  Up, Optimize can control where in upper memory the parts of DOS
  are loaded; this helps ensure that upper memory is used as
  efficiently as possible. You may have to make a few changes to
  your CONFIG.SYS file so that DOS-Up will work efficiently with
  DR DOS 6.  For complete information on using QEMM with DR DOS 6,
  see the text file DRDOS6.TEC in the \QEMM\TECHNOTE directory.
  You can view technotes with QEMM Setup by selecting "View QEMM
  hints technotes and READ.ME" at the main menu.

                      ■τQEMM and Disk Compressors
                      ■τ(e.g., Stacker, SuperStor)

  Depending on the disk compressor you are using, you may need to
  take special steps to use QEMM. We have provided technical
  bulletins (technotes) covering Stacker, SuperStor, XtraDrive, and
  DoubleDisk in the \QEMM\TECHNOTE directory.

   ■ΦStacker ■µ - If you have Stacker version 2.0x, 3.0 or 3.1, no
  special steps are generally required; however, we do suggest you
  read the technote STACKER3.TEC before running Optimize.

             ■τUsing QEMM with Disk Compressors (Continued)

   ■ΦSuperStor ■µ - Before running Optimize, read SSTOR.TEC.

   ■ΦXtraDrive ■µ - Please see the technote XTRADRV.TEC.

   ■ΦDoubleDisk ■µ - Before running Optimize, see DBLDISK.TEC.

   ■ΦDoubleSpace ■µ - If you are using MS-DOS 6's DoubleSpace,
  you can save 40K of memory by using QEMM's Stealth DoubleSpace
  feature to relocate the DoubleSpace device driver in expanded
  memory.  See Chapter 5 of the QEMM manual for details.
                    ■τQEMM and Bus-Mastering Devices

  Certain SCSI disk controller cards (and, less frequently, ESDI
  disk controllers and network cards) use a technique called
  bus-mastering to speed up disk access. This technique causes a
  conflict when a memory manager (such as QEMM) attempts to load a
  device driver or TSR into upper memory.  In some, but not all,
  cases QEMM can detect a bus-mastering hard disk controller and
  will take steps to prevent this from happening.  (This is not
  true if the card controls something other than a hard drive or
  if QEMM is not being loaded from the bus-mastering hard drive.)

  The typical symptom of a bus-mastering controller is a lock up
  during Optimize.
              ■τQEMM and Bus-Mastering Devices (Continued)

  Fortunately, there are solutions to this problem. For a
  detailed explanation of bus-mastering and suggestions for
  resolving the conflicts caused by its use, please refer to our
  technical bulletin BUS-MAST.TEC which can be found in your
  \QEMM\TECHNOTE directory.  You can view technotes with QEMM Setup
  by selecting "View QEMM hints technotes and READ.ME" at the main
  menu.
                     ■τQEMM and the EMS Page Frame

  Most programs that use expanded memory (EMS) access up to 64K
  of expanded memory at a time (in 16K units called pages) at a
  special area of upper memory called the page frame. An expanded
  memory manager (QEMM) makes memory from outside the first
  megabyte of memory appear in the page frame.

  QEMM's installation normally reserves 64K of upper memory for
  use as a page frame. You can use QSETUP to specify that no
  page frame should be used.

  The advantage of eliminating the page frame is that you will free
  up 64K of upper memory. The disadvantages are 1) programs that
  use EMS memory will not have it, and 2) you will not be able to
             ■τQEMM and the EMS Page Frame (Continued)

  use the Stealth ROM and Stealth DoubleSpace features, which can
  typically gain you 48K-115K of additional usable upper memory,
  and 40K beyond that if you are using MS-DOS 6's DoubleSpace
  disk compression feature.

  Because a great number of DOS applications can use EMS memory
  and because you can gain even more usable upper memory with
  Stealth, we recommend you use a page frame.

  To eliminate the page frame, select "Review or change QEMM
  parameters" from the main QEMM Setup menu, then select "Set page
  frame" and specify NONE. To help you decide if you need a page
  frame, press PgDn see the partial list of programs that use EMS.

                      ■τQEMM's Stealth ROM Feature

  Stealth ROM is an exclusive QEMM feature that can typically
  create an additional 48K to 115K of High RAM on almost any PC.
  Stealth ROM hides your PC's ROMs and makes their memory addresses
  available for High RAM or expanded memory mapping. The advantage
  of having the additional High RAM is that QEMM can load TSRs,
  device drivers and selected parts of DOS there instead of in
  conventional memory. By freeing up conventional memory, you will
  have more room for running DOS programs.

  Depending on your configuration and the installation options you
  chose, Stealth ROM may have been enabled on your system when you
  installed QEMM. When you run the Optimize program, Optimize
                ■τQEMM's Stealth ROM Feature (Continued)

  will try to load your TSRs, device drivers and selected parts of
  DOS into High RAM. If all of them will not fit, Optimize will
  test your system for compatibility with Stealth ROM and will
  determine which Stealth ROM method is best for your system.

  Is there any reason not to use Stealth?  Yes, you may not need it
  if all your device drivers, TSRs and parts of DOS fit into High
  RAM without Stealth ROM enabled. The extra High RAM that Stealth
  ROM creates actually comes from QEMM's pool of memory, so by not
  using Stealth ROM you have slightly more memory for programs that
  use expanded or extended memory. A good rule of thumb is to let
                ■τQEMM's Stealth ROM Feature (Continued)

  Optimize decide whether you need Stealth ROM--if Optimize does
  not suggest Stealth testing, you do not need Stealth ROM.

  There is one exception--we recommend you use Stealth if you use
  DESQview or DESQview/X (see below).  Also, there are a few
  machines that are incompatible with Stealth ROM; Optimize
  attempts to detect incompatibitiles during Stealth testing and
  will not enable Stealth ROM on machines that it finds are
  incompatible.

  DESQview and DESQview/X can use the additional High RAM provided
  by Stealth ROM. So if you regularly use DESQview or DESQview/X,
  we recommend you use Stealth ROM, even if Optimize did not
                ■τQEMM's Stealth ROM Feature (Continued)

  recommend it. To find out if you are using Stealth ROM, type QEMM
  at the DOS prompt. QEMM will display some status information.
  If you see information about the "Stealth type," Stealth ROM is
  already enabled. If not, you can have Optimize perform Stealth
  ROM testing by typing OPTIMIZE /ST.
                       ■τQEMM's Optimize Program

  Optimize is a program that determines how to load TSRs, device
  drivers and selected parts of DOS into upper memory. Optimize
  analyzes the memory requirements of device drivers and TSRs that
  you are loading from CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and any batch
  files called by AUTOEXEC.BAT. Then, Optimize determines the most
  efficient way to load items into High RAM by testing all possible
  locations.  There can be thousands or millions of possibilities.

  The object is to free up as much conventional memory as possible
  for your DOS programs. If you are using QEMM's DOS-Up feature,
  Optimize also experiments with different ways of loading parts
  of DOS into upper memory.
                 ■τQEMM's Optimize Program (Continued)

  When you install QEMM, INSTALL offers to run Optimize. You should
  run Optimize again if you add new hardware devices or modify your
  AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files.

  Optimize must reboot your machine two or more times to complete
  its testing. Optimize changes the lines that load device drivers
  and TSRs by adding a LOADHI command to the beginning of those
  lines. For example, a device driver line that looks like this:

                       ■ΦDEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE

  would look something like this after Optimize has done its work:

                 ■τQEMM's Optimize Program (Continued)

           ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE

  A TSR line in AUTOEXEC.BAT that looks like this:

                         ■ΦC:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE

  would look something like this after running Optimize:

               ■ΦC:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE

  For detailed information on Optimize, see Chapter 3 of the
  QEMM manual. For information on the LOADHI command, see
  Chapter 8.
                         ■τUndoing an Optimize

  When you run QEMM's Optimize program, modifications are made to
  your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and any batch file called
  by AUTOEXEC.BAT.

  If for some reason you want to restore these files to their pre-
  optimized states, type UNOPT at the DOS prompt. The files will be
  restored to the state they were in before you last ran Optimize.
                         ■τThe Manifest Program

  Manifest is a powerful system reporting program that is
  automatically installed on your hard drive when you install QEMM.
  While Manifest can be extremely useful when troubleshooting a
  problem, it is much more than a diagnostic tool.  Whether you are
  new to computers or a power user with years of DOS experience
  under your belt, Manifest will help you take full advantage of
  the memory that is installed in your computer. Think of Manifest
  and its companion manual as a tutorial in memory management.

  To run Manifest, just type MFT at the DOS prompt.  Open your
  Manifest manual to Chapter Three - Road Map, then take Manifest
  for a spin. At your own pace explore the world of memory as
  it relates to your own PC.
          ■τVIDRAM - Extending Memory for Text-based Programs

  QEMM's VIDRAM program can extend conventional memory by as much
  as 96K for running DOS text-based programs. VIDRAM even extends
  conventional memory for DOS text programs running in Microsoft
  Windows.

  To use VIDRAM, your system must have an EGA or VGA video adapter
  or an adapter with EGA or VGA capability (this includes VGA-
  compatible 8514A video adapters).  Your PC must have 640K of
  conventional memory and the programs that you run while using
  VIDRAM must not use EGA or VGA graphics.
    ■τVIDRAM - Extending Memory for Text-based Programs (Continued)

  If your PC has an EGA or VGA video adapter, the 64K memory area
  just above conventional memory (640K-704K or A000-AFFF hex) is
  reserved for use by graphics modes. When you run text-based
  programs, that area is unused, so VIDRAM can appropriate it to
  extend the contiguous conventional memory for running programs.

  It is important to understand that you cannot run EGA or VGA
  graphics operations while VIDRAM is in use. If you routinely use
  both large text-based programs and graphics programs, you can
  turn the VIDRAM feature on when you need it for a text program
  and off before you run a graphics program. If you are using an
  8514A adapter, you can still use 8514 graphics programs while
  VIDRAM is enabled.
    ■τVIDRAM - Extending Memory for Text-based Programs (Continued)

  To turn VIDRAM on type VIDRAM ON at the DOS prompt.

  This command will extend conventional memory into the EGA/VGA
  graphics area for a total of 704K conventional memory.

  To turn VIDRAM off so you can use graphics programs again, type
  VIDRAM OFF.

  For more information on VIDRAM, including using VIDRAM with
  Microsoft Windows, DESQview, and DESQview/X, and extending
  conventional memory an additional 32K, see Chapter 6 of the QEMM
  manual.
             ■τTips on Freeing Up More Conventional Memory

  If you use DOS text-based programs, you can extend conventional
  memory by as much as 96K by using QEMM's VIDRAM feature.  For
  information on VIDRAM, see Chapter 6 of the QEMM manual.

  The Manifest program may be able to tell you how to free up
  a bit more conventional memory.  Run Manifest by typing MFT
  at the DOS prompt. When Manifest displays, type H to select
  Hints, and read the suggestions Manifest offers.

  If you do not use any programs that require DPMI (DOS Protected
  Mode Interface) memory, you can free up 1-2K, by deleting the
  QDPMI.SYS device driver line from your CONFIG.SYS file.
                 ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

  QEMM's installation, Optimize and QSETUP programs modify your
  CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and any batch file called by
  AUTOEXEC.BAT. In the examples below, the parameter /R:n loads
  an item into a specified High RAM region. On your system, the n
  is replaced by a number indicating the region.

  If you are using QEMM's DOS-Up feature, the following line is
  added at the beginning of CONFIG.SYS to prepare your system for
  loading parts of DOS into upper memory:

                      ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\DOSDATA.SYS
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  Next, QEMM's installation adds the following line:

                   ■ΦDEVICE=\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS R:n RAM

  This is QEMM's device driver line; it is the line that loads QEMM
  whenever you boot your PC. Depending on your configuration, you
  may see other parameters (e.g., ST:M or ST:F for Stealth ROM).

  If you are using DOS-Up, the following line appears after the
  QEMM386.SYS line:

            ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\DOS-UP.SYS @C:\QEMM\DOS-UP.DAT
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  The following statement (on one line) loads QEMM's DPMI driver:

           ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:n C:\QEMM\QDPMI.SYS
              ■ΦSWAPFILE=DPMI.SWP SWAPSIZE=1024

  The following syntax is added to the beginning of other device
  driver lines in CONFIG.SYS:

                    ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:n

  This command loads the device driver directly following this
  command into High RAM. (If a driver does not fit into High RAM,
  this syntax is not added.)
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  For example, if before installing QEMM, CONFIG.SYS contained the
  line DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS, Optimize would change it as follows:

            ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:n C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

  If you want to manually remove the LOADHI command, you would
  delete C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:n and the space directly following
  the number represented by n. The line would then look like this:

                       ■ΦDEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS.
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  If you are using DOS-Up, Optimize will add QEMM's LOADHI command
  to your SHELL line to load your command processor high (if you
  do not have a SHELL line, Optimize will add one for you). For
  example, if you have the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file

                 ■ΦSHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /P

  Optimize will change it to read as follows:

     ■ΦSHELL=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.COM /R:x C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /P
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  If you are using DOS version 5 or 6, QEMM's installation will add
  the line DOS=HIGH to your CONFIG.SYS file if it is not already
  there. This is a DOS command that loads part of DOS into the HMA
  (the first 64K of extended memory).

  If you are using MS-DOS 6's DoubleSpace disk compressor, QEMM's
  installation will add the following line to enable the Stealth
  DoubleSpace feature:

             ■ΦDEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\QEMM\ST-DBL.SYS
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  QEMM's installation will remove device driver lines for
  other memory managers from CONFIG.SYS.

  Optimize makes the following changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT and to any
  batch file called by AUTOEXEC.BAT:

  QEMM's directory is added to your PATH statement.

  The following syntax is added to the beginning of lines that load
  TSRs (i.e., memory-resident programs) high:

                         ■ΦC:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:n
           ■τQEMM and CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (Continued)

  This command tells QEMM to load the TSR directly following this
  command into High RAM. For example, if before installing QEMM,
  your AUTOEXEC.BAT file contained the line C:\NET\NETX.COM,
  Optimize would change it to read as follows:

                 ■ΦC:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:n C:\NET\NETX.COM

  If you ever want to manually remove the LOADHI command, delete
  C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:n.

  If you have MS Windows, QEMM adds SystemROMBreakPoint=FALSE to
  Windows' SYSTEM.INI file so Windows will run optimally with QEMM.
                      ■τQEMM's New Parameter Names

  If you have upgraded from an earlier version of QEMM, be aware
  that many of the old parameters have new names. You can still use
  the older parameter names if you like. Below is a list of the old
  parameter names, cross-referenced with the parameters' new names.
  Some parameters have abbreviations which are listed in
  parentheses.

                         ■τBooting without QEMM

  If you want to boot your PC without QEMM's memory management,
  first reset your system. Use the power switch if necessary.

  When you hear a beep, hold down the Alt key until the boot
  sequence stops. If you are using QEMM's DOS-Up feature, you will
  see a message asking if you want to unload the DOSDATA device
  driver; press Esc to unload it, then  ■Φimmediately ■µ press and
  hold down Alt again until you see: "QEMM: Press ESC to unload
  QEMM or any other key to continue with QEMM."

  Press the Esc key. QEMM will not load, so programs will not load
  into High RAM, but your system will be usable.

     ■τSwitching Between MS-DOS 6's Memory Manager and QEMM

  QEMM provides all the functionality of MS-DOS 6's memory manager,
  and much more. For a list of QEMM's features and how they stack
  up against DOS 6's memory manager, see "QEMM Benefits and
  Features" in Chapter 1 of the QEMM manual.

  If you are using MS-DOS 6 and you have run its MemMaker memory
  utility, you can switch back to QEMM by running QEMM's Optimize
  program (assuming you have already installed QEMM on your hard
  disk). To run Optimize, type OPTIMIZE at the DOS prompt.

  If you ever want to switch back to MS-DOS's memory manager,
  simply run MemMaker again. If you are using QEMM's DOS-Up feature,
  be sure to run QSETUP and disable DOS-Up before you run MemMaker.
   ■τSwitching Between MS-DOS 6's Memory Manager and QEMM (Continued)

  If you are using QEMM's Stealth DoubleSpace feature and you
  decide to switch back to MS-DOS 6's memory manager, the
  ST-DBL.SYS driver will perform the same function as DOS's
  DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE.  That is, it will allow DBLSPACE.BIN to be
  moved into upper memory.  You can replace ST-DBL.SYS with
  DBLSPACE.SYS, but you will suffer no ill effects if you do not.
