DVSETUP.DOC (Distributed in CASINODV.ZIP)

As a service to Sysops just starting out in the use of DESQview 386, here
is the pertinent information in use on my system here in New Jersey. If
I can be of further service, I can be contacted direct or via the RIME
network at ->CASINO via R/O or public message.
I am running 3 nodes on PCBoard quite successfully here. The machine is a
386-20 with 4 megs and a 650 meg SCSI drive. DESQview 386, latest version is
installed. I will share some of my parameters with you in this message,
publically so other interested parties can compare notes. I have found that
PCBoard 14.5a/E3 works fine with 440K windows each.
Here is some of the crucial parameters running at The Casino PCBoard BBS:
DOS VERSION: MS-DOS 5.0
-> CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DV\QEMM386.SYS ME=2688 RAM : TRIMMED PARAMETERS HERE 11/91
DEVICE=C:\FASTX.EXE c:512 s t:0 : DISK CACHE, 512K
DEVICE=C:\DOS\RAMDRIVE.SYS 330 128 /E : RAMDISK FOR COMMAND.COM & BAT FILES
DOS=HIGH : RUN DOS IN HIGH MEMORY
DEVICE=\DOS\SETVER.EXE : ALLOWS SOME OLDER PROGRAMS TO RUN
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P /F /E:1152 : ENLARGED ENVIRONMENT
STACKS=0,0 : DISABLE STACKS ON NON-IBM MACHINES
LASTDRIVE=F: : ALLOWS SUBST DRIVES
FILES=8 : STARTING VALUE, UPPED TO 60 IN DV
INSTALL=\DOS\SHARE.EXE /F:4096 /L:60 : REQUIRED FOR PCBOARD, 20 LOCKS/NODE
