TITLE :MemMaker Copies HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE to C:\DOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When you run MemMaker, and you have MS-DOS installed on a drive other
than your startup (boot) drive (which is usually drive C), MemMaker
creates a DOS directory on the startup drive and copies the following
files to that directory:
- MEMMAKER.EXE
- MEMMAKER.HLP
- MEMMAKER.INF
- EMM386.EXE
- HIMEM.SYS
- CHKSTATE.SYS
- SIZER.EXE
During the optimization process, it also creates MEMMAKER.STS.
Note: The original startup drive might not be drive C if you have a
program such as Stacker from Stac Electronics.
More Information:
For example, if your DOS directory is located on your D drive,
MemMaker creates C:\DOS, copies the files listed above to that
directory, and changes the DEVICE= statements in the CONFIG.SYS file
to point to drive C to ensure that the files are found when MemMaker
restarts the system. MemMaker copies these files to the startup drive
because MemMaker moves the device= statements for HIMEM.SYS AND
EMM386.EXE to the top of the CONFIG.SYS file. Because these files are
then loaded before any devices that might perform drive swapping,
MemMaker must be sure it can find the files it needs to optimize your
system's memory.
MemMaker does not remove these files after it has completed its
optimization. To remove these changes, edit the CONFIG.SYS file and
make sure the device= lines for HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE point to the
drive that contains your full MS-DOS directory. You can then safely
delete the C:\DOS directory.
