- Yes, actually it does. Make sure that you have the command
-
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
-
- in your CONFIG.SYS file to enable DOS' use of UMBs. If you are
- currently using QEMM to manage your high memory blocks, let DOS do it!
- DOS does a better job (when helped by QEMM). Use DEVICEHIGH= and LH
- (aka LOADHIGH) commands in your configuration files instead of QEMM's
- LOADHI.SYS and .COM. After doing that, you'll get what you expect
- with MEM /C, and you'll find that QEMM's status report is just as
- meaningless as MEM /C is now.
