        The first version (1.10) of this program was first uploaded to
    oak.oakland.edu during January of 1995 and was retired inmediatly
    due to some bugs encountered in the error routines and the A20
    enable routine. I have seen a copy of that early version in
    teeri.oulu.fi and this version (1.11) is meant to replace the
    earlier.

        After trying many DOS extenders I decided to program this one.
    All the extenders I have seen have limitations like not running
    without himem or restricting the 4Gb offsets to one segment register.

    QFM has these advantatges:

                - Flat-mode (4Gb linear memory locations)
                - Real-mode (No speed loss)
                - Full MsDos compatible
                - Work with or without himem
                - Can be used under C (I have used Borlandc 3.1)
                - Works with segments es,fs,gs and ds.

        In order to use QFM you must ensure that the processor is not
    already running under protected mode. This is because QFM does not
    support DPMI or QEMM so it can stay in real mode.  If it stayed
    under DPMI it would be slower, because protected mode does some
    extra work which you may not need. If QFM encounters this problem
    it will print a message and return an error value.

        Using QFM is simplicity itself:

                - Start QFM:

                        StartPL()

                - Open all free mem. after first Mgb:

                        OpenMem()

                - Get the starting adress of that block:

                        p=GiveSta()

                - Now you can address from postion 0 to 4Gb just by
                  setting one of the segments registers(gs,ds,es,fs)
                  to 0 and using a 32-bit offset (EDI,ESI,EBX,etc..)

                - End your code with CloseMem() and LeavePL()


        For a detailed explanation on functions, please refer to
    qfml11.h, examples1.cpp and example2.cpp.

    HOW TO INCLUDE IT:

        If you are coding C follow these instructions: (Borlandc 3.1)

                - Make a project including your files and
                QFML.OBJ. A good starting point would be to make one
                from example1.prj or example2.prj. Notice that
                if QFML.OBJ does not include debug information.

                - Use a program like prj2mak to get the make file
                and modify the line which states TLINK [options],
                adding the parameter /3 in the options.

                - Now you can use MAKE to compile. Notice that
                you cannot compile within the IDE as the integrated
                linker will not allow you to link 32-bit code.

                - You can still use Turbo debbuger to debug your
                programs.

        One important point: You MUST compile with models MEDIUM,LARGE
    or HUGE, because the code of QFML must be in a far segment.
    QFML was assembled using:

        TASM /m2 /zn /z /w2 /ml qfml.asm

        Parameter ml makes case sensitive function names.

        The best C envirorment would be a programer editor like ME or
    Qedit and invoke make from there. You should keep in mind that the
    editor must run in real mode.

        You cannot execute within the IDE as it runs under protected mode,
    but you can debug it with TURBODEBBUGER.

    UNREGISTERED VERSION:

        The unregistered version allows a maximum of 256 K. and has
    a delay in the StartPL function which may not appear in some cases.
    IT CAN BE FREELY DISTRIBUTED TO ANYONE INTERESTED WITH NO CHARGE,
    BUT IT MUST BE COPIED IN ITS COMPLETE FORM.  The registered
    version gets all memory available, no delay and some options like
    non-echo. Depending on response or special enquire I may give a
    Pascal and assembly interface.To register send 1000 Pts. or 5 pounds to:

                Mickel Bernal Herzog
                Pascual Orozco 13, Entresuelo A
                03006. ALICANTE
                  SPAIN

        You'll get the complete version and some more examples.
