- I have also had problems with overflow files on Gateways (a 386SX).
- What normally happens is that the program will simply freeze when
- I attempt to abandon or store a file which has gone into overflow--
- say the last file when I have nine windows open. Often, I would be
- able to store files seven and eight successfully (which also were
- in overflow), but it would hang on the ninth. I've determined that
- it must be hardware related because I have identical setups on the
- Gateway and a non-Gateway 386 (same autoexec.bats, same config.sys, both
- running Desqview). Here's another oddity: running NB on the Gateway from
- inside Desqview makes the problem disappear; obviously, the combination of
- QEMM and Desqview manages memory better than QEMM alone with DOS, at least
- as far as NB is concerned.
