TITLE :Why MemMaker Doesn't Work with Multi-Config Files
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
This article explains why MemMaker doesn't work with MS-DOS Multi-Config
files.
Important: You can use MemMaker with multiple configurations, but doing so
requires creating separate configuration files to run MemMaker. For more
information, see the "Using MemMaker with Multiple Configurations" section
in Chapter 6 of the "MS-DOS User's Guide."
More Information:
MemMaker removes all references to memory managers, the FILES= statement,
the BUFFERS= statement, and the DOS= statement. It then adds the following
statements at the top of the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE <settings>
buffers=<setting>
files=<setting>
dos=umb
lastdrive=<setting>
FCBS=<setting>
[Everything else remains in the same order]
Note: The <setting> and <settings> are determined by MemMaker for your
specific installation and configuration.
Because of this design, MemMaker cannot work with configuration files that
contain Multi-Config sections that reference multiple memory managers or
have different memory configurations.
MemMaker also uses a program called SIZER.EXE to determine memory
requirements for device drivers and terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR)
programs. MemMaker analyzes the contents of the entire CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files (regardless of Multi-Config headings) to calculate the
optimum memory configuration for your system. Because the files are viewed
as a single unit, each individual configuration will not be optimized after
you run MemMaker.
