FAST-LOAD v1.12 Microsystems Software, Inc. Registration $ 25.00
UTIL NOV91 EMS XMS CACHE RAM-DISK EXEC FAST EXTENDED EXPANDED LOAD
FILES: fastl112.sdn
Fast Load (FL.EXE) is a very unique productivity tool which
makes maximum use of available EMS or XMS on your computer to
provide instant Execution Loading of .EXE, .COM, and .OVL
type files. Unlike Ram Disks, you do not need to have any
drive assignments etc. for associated data files. There is
additionally no "Cluster-Size" loss as attributable to RAM
Disks. Simply put FL.EXE in your autoexec.bat file with a
list of the executable files in an FL.DAT file (same
subdirectory) or on the command line. Any time that DOS
attempts to load these programs, they will be loaded from EMS
or XMS instead. The Unregistered Version is limited to a
maximum of 4 executable programs which is hardly a
restriction in recognizing the efficiencies of Fast-Loading
programs. The registed version is limited only by your avail-
able EMS or XMS.
You may unload FL.EXE (if loaded last) with a /U
command-line option and it will release the associated
memory. FL itself takes only 4K of main memory and may be
Loaded in High Memory (UMB's) with your memory manager. FL
will NOT load protected mode programs, such as WINDOWS,
however, it will load real mode mode programs from within
Windows in Enhanced Mode. Since FL.EXE never writes to disk,
it CANNOT interfere with FAT etc. It operates only on EXEC
related calls to DOS. Other options for XMS, EMS and STATUS
are listed on the FL signon screen. FL will safely operate on
ALL Networks as well.
Execution-Path-Management (EPM) has been added in the 1.10
Release. When you type a program (included in FL.DAT) by name
or load it from a batch file, FL will NOT allow DOS to scan
the disk directory & path prior to execution of any program
that is referenced in the FL.DAT file. This really saves a
bunch of wasted time. If you have a single executable file in
the FL.dat that exists in many of your directories, and need
it to report the current directory name to the application,
add a /k for Keyboard or /s for Search after the .EXE or .COM
that should not have its path managed. You can also globally
disable this feature with a /k or /s on the FL execution
line. You should rarely need this set of options.
