     Funny, I don't recall seeing the initial post.  QEMM prefers STACKS=0,0
if your system can do that.  It handles STACKS differently.  Try loading QEMM
again and run QEMM /AN.  That will tell you if you have areas of memory that
should be included or excluded.  I currently use QEMM and Windows and find
them quite compatible.  Where else are you gonna get a 634k dos box? <=
  I know, I know. . . OS\2.  It don't sit right with my hardware. <G>
