SYMPTOMS
When you are using Quarterdeck Qemm version 7.01, the "Upper" and "Total under 1 MB" values may be displayed incorrectly. For example, your display may appear as follows:   Memory Type        Total  =   Used  +   Free ---  ---   ---   Conventional         640K       19K      621K Upper            4,193,6   4,193,6       12K    <== Incorrect Display Reserved            384K      384K        0K Extended (XMS)   15,998K    3,102K   12,896K ---  ---   ---   Total memory      16,386K    2,854K   13,530K

Total under 1 MB      2K   4,193,6      634K    <== Incorrect Display



CAUSE
The Upper value should read 4,193,6nn,nnn (where n is an unknown number) but MEM does not correctly handle the large values for upper memory returned by Qemm.

The addition of the comma formatting for numerical output in MS-DOS 6.2 magnifies the corrupted output problem.
