──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The "stealth" and "vidram" options of QEMM/386 may cause problems when
PP is loaded in high memory. If you encounter problems in this QEMM
configuration, try disabling some QEMM options to try to isolate the
problem. If the problem still exists, try loading PP in low memory.
