- The EXTENDER software consists of the following 14 distribution
- files. Feel free to upload this package to any bulletin board, but
- please be sure all 14 original (unmodified) distribution files are
- included in the upload.
-
- README.1ST This text file.
-
- LICENSE.DOC A text file explaining how to license your copy of
- EXTENDER and obtain your own personal access key that
- permits access to all 384k of high memory. Without
- an access key, you will be able to try out all the
- features of EXTENDER, but your access will be
- restricted to a maximum of 32k of high DOS memory
- and 32k of high Bank-Switch memory.
-
- WARRANTY.DOC A text file explaining the terms and conditions of
- the EXTENDER warranty.
-
- EXTENDER.DOC A text file explaining how to use EXTENDER.
-
- LICENSE.EXE This program modifies the file EXTENDER.SYS to install
- your name and personal access key.
-
- EXTENDER.SYS This device driver must be loaded before using any of
- the other software supplied with EXTENDER. It
- determines what high memory space can be used and
- initializes it. If possible, it will also copy any
- Bios ROM it finds to Shadow RAM for faster execution.
- When finished with its initialization process,
- EXTENDER relocates the resident portion of itself to
- high memory, leaving only 32 bytes of itself in DOS
- memory.
-
- HIGHDRVR.SYS This device driver is used to load other device
- drivers into high memory. Each use of HIGHDRVR.SYS
- leaves only 48 bytes of itself in conventional memory
- in order to connect the device driver (that was
- loaded into high memory) to the operating system.
-
- HIGHDISK.SYS This device driver implements a RAM disk in high
- memory, using bank-switching techniques to access the
- memory behind the Bios ROM or any installed adapter.
- (The driver itself may be loaded into high memory by
- using HIGHDRVR.SYS.)
-
- HIGHTSR.EXE This program is used to load TSR's into high memory.
- Once the TSR has been loaded, this program completely
- removes itself from memory.
-
- HIGHMARK.EXE Used to mark TSR's so that they may be removed from
- high memory at a later time. The mark is placed in
- the bank-switch portion of high memory where it has
- no effect on the amount of memory available for TSR's
- and device drivers.
-
- HIGHUNDO.EXE Used to remove TSR's (and the associated mark) that
- have been marked with HIGHMARK.
-
- HIGHMEM.EXE Displays a map of high memory usage.
-
- COLS.40,80 Text files to be used to verify that ANSI.SYS has been
- installed and is operating properly.
