Back in the '80s we bought tons of QEMM licenses because we needed
to run a DOS app in Windows 3.0 and Windows for Workgroups. DOS
Himem couldn't get enough stuff into high memory for us to to it,
but with QEMM we could eke it out.


Trying to configure stuff to work together using autoexec.bat and
config.sys was a real challenge. I was good at it back in the day,
but I've forgotten all that now.


I've forgotten all that too.


You took the words out of my mouth!


I wish I still had some of the .bat files I wrote for bbs's. Some
were a challenge with some of the doors and their needs.
