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.
