LATE-BREAKING NEWS ABOUT PCFDIAL:
None at this time.
CHANGES TO THE MANUAL:
Chapter 4.3.2
Starting with version 1.01, PCFDial recognizes XMS as well as EMS memory.
This means you may not have to establish a RAMdisk just so the program can
store its memory swap files in high memory.
PCFDial's swapping process speeds up if it uses EMS or XMS memory or a
RAMdisk. It also uses less regular memory and swaps faster if you avoid
the /X1 command line option.
Chapter 4.1
/X Ignore XMS memory. Similar to the /E option, but it tells PCFDial to
specifically ignore XMS memory if present.
/X1 Single swap file. PCFDial temporarily allocates a second memory swap
file when it swaps out to disk, or it permanently allocates 360k of
XMS memory when it swaps to XMS. (It always allocates the minimum
memory if it swaps to EMS.) The /X1 option tells PCFDial to use a
single disk-based swap file, or half as much room in XMS memory as
it normally uses. This can prove beneficial to people running low on
disk space or who can't spare much XMS memory. NOTE: this forces
PCFDial to occupy about 10k of regular memory instead of just 7k. It
also increases the time it takes for the program to swap back into
memory when you press the hotkey.
/XX Use XMS over EMS. Some people have both EMS and XMS memory. When
given a choice, PCFDial chooses EMS. However, this switch makes the
program choose XMS for its memory swap file. Note: PCFDial will
still look for EMS to hold its "overlay" file unless you specify the
/E option. You should use /E instead of /XX if you want the program
to totally ignore EMS.
MANUAL ERRATA:
Chapter 4.1
If you use the /D option and specify "!" as the support drive, PCFDial
will load all 180k of itself into regular memory. You can also enter a
"!" in the "TSR disk default" field of a configuration file to achieve
the same effect. NOTE: this occurs automatically in certain cases.
Chapter 4.3.2
You must have 360k free on your hard disk or RAMdisk to successfully load
PCFDial -- but you only need 180k if use the /X1 command line option (see
above).
