According to the review in PC Magazine, 386-to-the-Max 6.0 supports DPMI, and
I believe it is the 1.0 specification.  It also supports VCPI, Int 15, XMS,
and EMS, and provides most of the facilities of QEMM 6.0, with the exception
of STEALTH mode, which causes a big performance hit anyway.

What this means for practical purposes is that for those of you using Borland
C++ 3.0 in protected mode, Turbo Debugger 386, and possibly djgpp and are
currently using multiple configuration files ( BOOTCON.SYS, BOOT.SYS, etc. )
then this may alleviate some problems....one single configuration will 
support Windows 3.0, BC++ 3.0 protected mode IDE, and TD386.  And it supports
loadhi, etc. and is XMS and EMS compatible ( shareably memory pool ).  If
djgpp supports DPMI, this may end a lot of configuration problems.

I just ordered this yesterday and should have it in less than a week, if there
is sufficient interest I will post my experiences trying to get it to run
with multiple environments.  I, for one, need to use djgpp and BC++ and this
may save a lot of trouble for others in similar circumstances.
