═════════════════[ USING DOS 6.0 WITH THE FCC PROGRAM ]═════════════════
We have found that on some systems running DOS 6.0, the FCC program will
hang when creating indexes or temporary files. If you have a 386 or
higher, and use EMM386.EXE and specify the NOEMS command, you must also
specify the NOVCPI command. If you don't, some Clipper applications
will hang, your computer will reboot or possibly send many print screens
to your printer. It appears to be related to the paging system in
Clipper, and how DOS 6.0 handles the page frame.
Another alternative is to configure your CONFIG.SYS with the RAM and
AUTO parameters. This instructs DOS to emulate EMS from XMS when the
application requests it. This seems to work fine, and also provides EMS
to the Clipper applications for better performance.
(Here are some examples)
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI
