Yes, I use it with v7.04 on two

Quarterdeck ".TEC" files
mentioning Novell DOS 7, OpenDOS
is a fairly minor tweak to that

as Novell DOS 7.01.

Imho it's not as good as QEMM
and not as game-friendly as
MS's HIMEM.SYS/EMM386.EXE. I
stuck with QEMM.

Yeah, I wouldn't give it up
either, even though with v7.04
I can manage "only" 634K
conventional.
