- You can put the file into RAM: no matter how big it is. That's what the
- REPACK function is for. Don't use any compression. It wastes memory. I
- haven't used DMS in quite some time so I may be a bit fuzzy...
-
- Try: DMS repack lemm2-d ram:lemm2-d low 00 high 39 cmode NONE
-
- It should be something awfully close to that. If you type DMS by itself, it
- should give you a syntax. I have 1 MEG also and I have to use repack a lot
- of the time. I struggled for a long time wondering what to do about it. I,
- then, noticed REPACK. Woo!
