135-545: A total of 64 MB RAM shared among XMS, EMS and VCPI memory, unless the USERAM= parameter is used. For example, to allow access to up to 256 MB EMS (or 256 MB XMS), specify: QEMM386.SYS USERAM=1M-256M For QEMM 7.04 and above, the maximum addressable RAM is 256 MB of memory, shared among XMS, EMS and VCPI memory. Initially, XMS allocates the entire 256 MB and shares it with EMS and VCPI as needed, that is, as EMS and VCPI request memory blocks, XMS free memory

162-496: Is 635K free conventional memory with up to 256MB XMS/256MB EMS shared. MS-DOS 6.22 provides 619K free conventional memory and up to 64MB XMS/32MB EMS shared RAM. Assuming unaltered MS-DOS 6.22, without 3rd party utilities, i.e. JEMM, UMBPCI, etc. QEMM increases the available free conventional RAM to 635K with shared 256MB XMS/256MB EMS. While using Windows 3.11 or Windows For Workgroups 3.11, QEMM provides additional free conventional memory for DOS Prompt running under Windows. QEMM

189-786: Is a utility that calculates, and allows user to choose optimal orders of loading drivers and TSRs. However, OPTIMIZE allows preview of adjustments be made without rebooting. Shipped with QEMM and DESQview. QDPMI is a DPMI 0.9 server driver, authored by Dan Spear. It requires 386 CPU and QEMM386. It is a version of QEMM driver for the IBM PS/2 Models 50 and 60 . Version 4.03 supports IBM Memory Expansion Option boards with 2-8MB memory. It can relocate memory assigned for CGA character set away from UMA. Beginning with QEMM version 8, it allows ROM contents in UMA to be relocated to provide more memory for TSRs. Additional Stealth Windows compatibility

216-511: Is compatible with MS-DOS 7.10 and Windows 9x and provides slightly more free conventional RAM but it does lower the maximum RAM to 256MB XMS/256MB EMS. EMS memory normally uses a 64KB of UMB as the Page Frame, this reduces the total UMB available to DOS. So some recommend turning off EMS, using the NOEMS switch, to increase the total UMB free by 64KB. QEMM supports NOEMS switch, however, it

243-413: Is far better to provide EMS than saving the 64K Page Frame. QEMM takes advantage of EMS memory and usually will create more free RAM in the lower 1M address space than the 64KB required for EMS. QEMM StealthROM, SqueezeFrame, and Stealth D*Space all require EMS to work by mapping ROM and data buffers into EMS, thus freeing more UMB's. QEMM's TechNote FRAME.TEC states: "Thus any advice to remove

270-524: Is provided with VxDs. Stealth D*Space allows DoubleSpace or DriveSpace to be loaded high. It allows Toshiba laptops to work with QEMM's EMS manager. LOADHI.SYS loads up to 1 device driver at a time in QEMM 4.23, 2 in QEMM 5, 32 in QEMM 6. Maximum compression threshold setting is 100% for all versions of MagnaRAM 2.00-2.02, except for MagnaRAM 2.00 included with QEMM 8.00, which has the maximum setting of 80%. By default, QEMM 7.04 and above provide up to

297-461: Is reduced by that same amount. Versions up to QEMM 6.01 can process batch files up to 9KB, and 20KB in QEMM 6.02. Batch file line limit is 512 for QEMM versions up to 6.02. Stealth D*Space does not support Windows 95 or later versions of DriveSpace. Originally, the product was called QEMM-386 (requiring an Intel 80386 and DOS 3.30 .), and was released with a complementary product called QRAM (for use on intel 80286 and 8088). The 386 suffix

324-617: Is well suited for Windows 3.x as has supported for it since QEMM v5.x as early as 1990. As a result, QEMM 8.03 or QEMM 97 integrate very well with Windows 3.11/WFW 3.11. QEMM increases the available free conventional RAM for MS-DOS 7.10 and also for DOS Prompt under Windows 95 OSR2/Windows 98 SE. However, QEMM maximum RAM is a shared 256MB XMS/256MB EMS, which is less than what DOS 7.10 and Windows 95/98 support without QEMM. MS-DOS 7.10 provides 624K free conventional memory and up to 1GB XMS/32MB EMS; assuming unaltered MS-DOS, using HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE without any 3rd party utilities. Thus, QEMM

351-506: The Expanded Memory Specification (EMS), Extended Memory Specification (XMS), Virtual Control Program Interface (VCPI) and DOS Protected Mode Interface (DPMI). It relocates DOS kernel, COMMAND.COM interpreter, DOS resources (e.g.: buffers, file handles, stacks, lastdrive). It supports DOS 3.2 or higher. It allows drivers to be loaded before loading QEMM and still allow the use of QEMM's Stealth feature. It

378-706: The DOS users switched to protected mode operating systems unsupported by QEMM, such as the Windows NT series and Linux . The final version was QEMM 97, which was compatible with Windows 95 and later Windows 98 / ME , but by this point, not only was DOS memory management no longer in high demand, but the remaining competitive DOS applications (including various GNU utilities and text editors) supported EMS, XMS, or DPMI - which reduced demand for conventional memory - or had been ported to Windows 95 or higher. The availability of increasing RAM sizes at low cost served to reduce

432-523: The UMB technology, incorporating a 386-mode XMS/EMS manager also called EMM386 . It could also allocate some of the video memory or EMS memory as UMB memory. MS-DOS finally offered UMBs in 1991 with version 5.0. MS-DOS' EMM386 required HIMEM to be loaded first, while DR-DOS' EMM386 fulfilled both roles and did not need a separate XMS driver, which was still provided but only needed on 80286-based machines (originally named HIDOS.SYS, later HIMEM.SYS). If an XMS driver

459-663: The XMS driver and relocate all but a tiny stub of the XMS driver into Extended Memory. DR-DOS EMM386 could fill "free" areas with UMBs or map RAM over unused ROM areas in virtual mode, provide support for DPMI (and - in some special issues - DPMS ), and load the support for pre-emptive multitasking and multithreading components of the operating system. While popular when DOS programs were the mainstream, QEMM eventually became largely irrelevant as Windows programs and more intensive DOS programs, particularly games, using DOS extenders replaced traditional DOS programs for most users. Also, some of

513-472: The hard disk, the information to be written would go to MagnaRAM's own buffer as this was a faster process. During CPU idle, MagnaRAM would compress the information in its own RAM buffer. When the RAM buffer becomes full, it is then swapped to the hard disk taking both less time and less space. Manifest (MFT) is a hardware information utility that displays information about user's system. Similar to MEMMAKER , it

594-409: The page frame is penny-wise and pound-foolish. Remember that the page frame is 64K of address space that can be used any program, at any time, to access effectively as much memory as it likes. Some view the page frame as 64K of address space that could be used to hold up 64K of programs, but it is much more useful to consider the page frame as a place to access up to 32 megabytes of code and/or data for

621-546: The programs that use it." Note: If using VMware, then replace the qemm386.sys line with Hold ALT key during boot and qemm386.sys will not load but prompt to hit Esc to skip loading. Alternatively, hold F5 so DOS skips loading all of config.sys + autoexec.bat or hold F8 so DOS prompt Y/N to confirm each line in config.sys and autoexec.bat; allowing you to skip loading qemm386.sys, dos-up, dosdata, etc. May help while testing new configuration that lead to system lockups. Holding ALT or pressing F5/F8 during boot might be

648-466: The saving touch! Microsoft released comparable but simpler memory managers of its own - HIMEM.SYS for XMS and EMM386.EXE for EMS with MS-DOS 4.01 in 1989; earlier Windows/386 2.1 included a built-in EMM which offered EMS to DOS windows during Windows sessions only. These versions could not yet create Upper Memory Blocks . Digital Research 's DR DOS 5.0 (1990) was the first non-vendor-specific DOS to offer

675-433: Was a virtual memory compression utility for Windows 3.1 , Windows For Workgroups and Windows 95 . MagnaRAM is included with QEMM 97. MagnaRAM was also released as a separate utility. MagnaRAM worked by replacing a portion of Windows' virtual memory system. MagnaRAM would insert itself in the string of Windows Programs that determined what pieces of RAM will be moved to the hard disk. Instead of writing directly to

702-688: Was dropped starting with QEMM version 7.0 in 1993, when Intel released the Intel Pentium on March 22, 1993. The final release was re-branded as QEMM 97 to follow Microsoft's new branding trend of using year released instead of version numbers, specifically, Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2. Dropped the 386 suffix from the name since Intel introduced the Pentium processor. QEMM provides up to 635K free conventional memory (RAM under 640K), far better than pure MS-DOS EMM386 , FreeDOS JEMM386, UMBPCI and many other memory manager programs. QEMM maximum RAM

729-428: Was loaded before DR-DOS EMM386, it would use this instead of the built-in XMS manager. Using an external and possibly customized XMS driver could help overcome issues with BIOS memory reporting functions causing the memory manager not to see all available memory, and on machines using non-standard gate-A20 switching methods, whereas using the internal XMS driver EMM386 could take advantage of speed-optimized 32-bit code for
