*** If that is Version 9.0, it's a good one. I use that version myself.

Just got qemm 7.5 and DESQview 2.42 on DOS 6.22 running under VMWare
Player 2.5.1. Using the following in config.sys:

QEMM386.SYS SH:N APM:N MA=8 HA=32 RAM XBDA:L P:VME:N I=C800-E7FF

I also use I=A000-B7FF because I'm only interested in text mode, no
graphics, and can always use the extra conventional memory this
provides, but with DESQview/X you probably wouldn't want that. Key to
getting this working for me was XBDA:L (or :N, but L gets me access to
the A000 frame in conventional memory) and P:VME:N. The other
parameters were the same as when I run DOS 6.22 + QEMM + DESQview on
bare metal instead of in a VMWare session.

I see references to QEMM97 and QEMM version 9.0, I wouldn't mind giving
them a try, are they available to download somewhere?

*** I am using QEMM 9 under DR-DOS 7.03 and it seems to work well. Best
of all, it recognises all the memory on my systems, including and above
64 Mb.

*** I am using QEMM 9 under DR-DOS 7.03 and it work wells. Best of all,
it recognises all the memory on my systems, so no 64 MB limit.
