4.3 Using 386MAX

   If you are running 386MAX with Windows version 3.1, note the following:

   .  Do not use options  that limit the EMS swap region  in the upper memory
     area. If you include  exclude= options on  the 386max or  bluemax command
     line or in the .PRO file (usually called 386MAX.PRO),  make sure that the
     address range specified does not extend beyond A000.

     For example,  exclude=1800-A000 is  acceptable, but  exclude=1800-B800 is
     not. If the address range specified by using  the exclude= option extends
     beyond A000, Windows may  not run properly in  386 enhanced mode.  If you
     must exclude an address  range above A000,  use the RAM=  option instead.
     For more  information  about  this and  other  options,  see your  386MAX
     documentation.

   .  Do not load SMARTDrive when QCache is running.

     Note: The 386MAX setup program does not detect SMARTDrive version 4.0 and
     may recommend that you install QCache.

   . If you update  an earlier version of  386MAX to version  6.0, the 386MAX
     version 6.0 setup program  may not remove the  LOAD=WINDOWS.LOD line from
     your .PRO file. You can remove  this line manually. It is  not needed and
     removing it will free up a small amount of memory.
