- (1)
- Under OS/2 2.0, the amount of memory for each DOS session is
dependent upon the characteristics of DOS, particularly its use
of extended, expanded, or DOS DPMI memory.
- (2)
- This additional system memory allows better performance in
conditions such as application loading, termination, and print
spooling.
- (3)
- Memory requirements for specific applications are provided by the
suppliers. The numbers given here are only guidelines to help
determine total memory size.
