- Hmmm. This works for me with no problem (with QEMM 6.03).

- The only problem I was aware of between Stacker and QEMM involving
- /EMS was if you tried to use ST:F Stealth. The problem there can be
- corrected by doing what optimize tells you (adding the DBF parameter
- to QEMM to make it trap INT13 accesses to EMS memory and buffer them
- itself). Otherwise, you can turn off the /EMS switch on Stacker to
- eliminate the problem.
