- QEMM-386 Version 6.01 Information
-
-
- QEMM-386 Version 6.01 is identical to Version 6.00 except that the following
- relatively rare possible problems have been solved in Version 6.01.
-
- 1) XMS drivers loaded before QEMM 6.00 could cause a couple of potential
- problems. The worst problem was if you loaded an EMB-using driver before
- QEMM, the EMB-using driver would stop working (and possibly hang the system)
- once QEMM loaded. The lesser problem related to the interaction between the
- NOXMS parameter and the DUX parameter, so that if one was used but not the
- other, there was the potential for unpredictable results.
-
- 2) QEMM 6.00's WINSTLTH.VXD driver, which is the driver responsible for
- making Stealth compatible with Windows 3.0 in 386 Enhanced mode (W3/3 for
- short), could cause an EMS-using driver or TSR loaded before W3/3 to fail.
- Additionally, some EMS-using programs loaded inside of a W3/3 DOS Prompt
- window might cause failures as well. Since W3/3 is known to have problems
- working with EMS-using TSRs or drivers anyway, most people should not use
- such programs whether they are using Stealth's ST:x parameter or not. Two
- other things with WINSTLTH.VXD: a) Some disk caches are being modified to
- make their advanced disk features work with Stealth. Those modifications
- won't work with W3/3 in QEMM 6.00; b) If QEMM has VirtualHDIrq=y, then it
- will continue to protect against ADF caches even if W3/3's VirtualHDIrq is
- set to n.
-
- 3) Optimize with QEMM 6.00 had problems with indented CALL statements in batch
- files and had problems if zero drivers/TSR's were loaded and/or zero High
- RAM regions were set up.
-
- 4) The 4DOS.CMD file with QEMM 6.00 was missing ELSEIFF, ENDIFF, and ENDTEXT.
-
- 5) The INSTALL program with QEMM 6.00 didn't work with the /M switch. Also,
- some PATH commands could be incorrectly parsed. Also, it inserted the QEMM
- directory in all PATH statements, including PATH statements that used the
- %PATH% variable. This caused the QEMM directory to be included multiple
- times under such circumstances.
-
- 6) QEMM 6.00 shipped with MFT 1.10, which had some minor cosmetic glitches.
- QEMM 6.01 ships with MFT 1.11, which corrects the above.
-
- Users who can show proof of purchase of QEMM 6.00 after September 25 can
- request a free 6.01 disk. Other registered QEMM 6.00 users may upgrade for
- $10. Updates may be requested by contacting Quarterdeck Customer Service at
- (213) 314-3222, or by sending a message to 76004,2310 via CompuServe MAIL.
