- Eh ... what you usually need is package of Himem.sys, Emm386.sys
- and a cache, Smartdrv.exe. If you use Emm386, you have to put
- NOEMS parameter in CONFIG.SYS. QEMM replaces Himem.sys and Emm386.sys.
- And of course, it serves the memory beyond 1 Mb in XMS or EMS mode
- depending the need of program. I think that QEMM is superior.
- The version of QEMM is 6.03 and it works quite well with Windows 3.1
- and games that need EMS and so on!
