subject: Re: 256Mb Extender Problems

From: Gary Welles 

My problems with GO32 and QDPMI went away.  Perhaps as a 
result of changes to DESQview/X's Virtual Memory Manager.

As a result I only need to exclude one 4Kb block from 
QEMM386's management for CLOAKING, the only DOS extender to 
complain of too much memory:

NoUseRAM=262132K-256M ;4K for CLOAKING v2.01
