║ Configuring Above Board Memory For Lotus 1-2-3 3.0 ║
║ ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
LOTUS 123 VER 3.0
This document explains how to structure files for minimum memory use
and how to regain memory. This information comes from the Memory
Management appendix in Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3.0 documentation.
The minimum memory requirement for Release 3.0 is 640K bytes of
conventional memory and 384K bytes of extended memory. The suggested
memory amounts are 640K bytes conventional, and at 1M byte of extended
(the more the better). If you have programs which use expanded memory,
set aside enough for those applications (1MB is usually sufficient).
Make sure the extended memory isn't allocated to other programs like
disk caches. If you're unsure, check the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files. Because most DOS applications use extended, not expanded,
memory, configure as much expanded as needed for these applications.
When configured for both kinds of memory, the 1-2-3 program is stored
in extended and data is stored in expanded. When expanded is full, 1-
2-3 places any additional data in extended. If you have an 80386-based
computer with an Expanded Memory Emulation Program, such as ILIM386 or
QEMM386, you should convert as much extended memory as possible to
expanded. 1-2-3 can access only the memory that the emulation program
converts to expanded. 1-2-3 won't be able to use any extended memory
after the emulation program has loaded. You usually set the amount of
memory to be converted with a statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. Check
your documentation for your driver to change it.
NOTE: 1-2-3 works with only EMS Emulators that support the Virtual
Control Program Interface (VCPI). Among those that support
VCPI are 386 MAX version 4.07 or later, Quarterdeck Expanded
Memory Manager (QEMM) version 4.2 or later, and COMPAQ Expanded
Memory Manager (CEMM).
LOTUS 123 3.0 ONLY SEES 15 MEG OF MEMORY
Some applications will only see 15 Meg of memory no matter how much is
installed. Lotus 1-2-3 3.0 is one of them.
