- I know it's not much help but form the manual:-
-
- Automatic detection and utilization of 80386 and 80486 CPU's,
- EMS and XMS memory, Novell Netware, and 32-bit DPMI. PKZIP 2 gets
- the most out of your machine by using the power of modern CPU's. EMS
- and XMS support offer the ability to process more files with less
- available conventional memory. Novell Netware and 32-bit DPMI support
- offer speed improvements.
-
- The above features also allow you to get the best performance when
- in a DOS session under OS/2 or Windows. OS/2 and Windows offer EMS,
- XMS and 32-bit DPMI without your using extra drivers.
-
- While on the subject if i'm using DPMI with PKUNZIP -D it will work ok
- for 10-20 files then display garbage on screen and beep (as if i'd TYPEd a .EXE)
- if I then CTRL-BREAK the dos windows closes and I get the Windows "This app has
- violated sytem integ.....".
-
- Any ideas? At the moment I just use -) all the time just to be sure.
-
- Systems:
- Two Different 486's, Dos 5, Windows 3.1, Config.sys and Autoexec.bat
- fairly clean.
