When using a Quick library in QBX.EXE, the programming environment
included with Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS)
version 7.00 or 7.10, the Quick library is always placed in
conventional memory. If you have expanded memory (as defined in the
LIM 4.0 EMS), QBX.EXE utilizes this expanded memory for loaded source
code segments that are smaller than 16K; however, Quick libraries are
always placed in conventional memory.

Microsoft BASIC PDS 7.00 or 7.10 is the only Microsoft BASIC product
that supports expanded memory, so this is not a consideration in
earlier versions of Microsoft BASIC Compiler or QuickBASIC.

Note: (LIM 4.0 EMS is an acronym for the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft version
4.0 Expanded Memory Specification for MS-DOS.)
