I don't know where to find qemm nowadays, don't really want it anyway.  I use
EMM386.EXE with FRAME=NONE.  But I found DPMI applications work even without
loading EMM386.EXE, as long as they find cwsdpmi.exe.  Since I use DR-DOS 7.03,
I don't use HIMEM.SYS.  There are a few programs that don't work at all if
EMM386.EXE is loaded.  DOSBOOT.COM (to boot NetBSD from within DOS) is one such
program.
