- TIPS
-
-
- * If your machine has upper memory available, you should
- check to make sure that DBLSPACE is loaded into high
- memory. To check, type:
-
- mem /c /p <ENTER>
-
- If you have sufficient upper memory, you can load
- DOUBLESPACE high and save 43K of conventional
- memory by inserting the following line in the
- DEVICEHIGH section of your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
-
- To have DoubleSpace load into high memory, you can add
- this DEVICEHIGH line using EDIT. Make it the first
- DEVICEHIGH line in the CONFIG.SYS file. Below is a
- sample DOS 6 CONFIG.SYS file set up to load DoubleSpace
- into high memory.
-
-
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS
- FILES=30
- BUFFERS=20
- STACKS=9,256
- NUMLOCK=OFF
-
-
-
- * If you are using DoubleSpace, don't expect to gain space
- by compressing files with other compression programs such
- as PKZIP or LHA.
-
- * If you want to compress files on a diskette, the shareware
- program PKZIP does a much better job than DoubleSpace.
- Another advantage is that you don't need DOS 6 to use
- PKZIP or PKUNZIP.
-
- * You may be able to recover a deleted DoubleSpace drive
- (a diskette drive or a hard drive) with the DOS
- UNDELETE command since a DoubleSpaced drive is
- really not a drive at all; in fact, it is a Compressed Volume
- File (CVF). If you UNDELETE a deleted compressed
- drive, you will have to MOUNT the drive before you can gain
- access.
-
- * One of my computers was running DoubleSpace and
- developed cross-linked files. Norton Disk Doctor in
- Norton Utilities fixed the problem. Norton Utilities is
- available from Symantec Corporation, 10201 Torre
- Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014-2132. Phone 1-800-441-
- 7234.
