| How Arachne uses it
|
|---|
| DOS memory
| 470 kB | 640 kB
| Program code and frequently accesed data, xSwap(TM) cache
|
| xSwap(TM) virtual memory
| 200 kB | cca 3 MB
| Confirguration files ("Arachne registry"), HTML pages. Can be located
in swap files on current drive, in EMS or in XMS.
|
| Swap files
| 200 kB | 3 MB
| xSwap(TM) virtual memory, temporary print file (if no XMS i available)
and various temporary batch, data and index files.
Swap files are located on current DOS drive,
which can be either RAM disk or hard disk. Floppy disks are too slow.
|
| EMS (optional)
| 200 kB | 3 MB
| xSwap(TM) virtual memory
|
| XMS (optional)
| 200 kB | cca 26 MB
| xSwap(TM) virtual memory, virtual screens (up to 6 screens, each 1600x16000 pixels big)
font caching (up to 50 fonts). Maximum vertical size of virtual screen is usually
5000 pixels, so typicaly Arachne uses up to 6 MB of XMS.

| DPMI (& other memory types)
| 0 kB | 0 kB
| cannot be used by Arachne
