- TITLE: Running OPTIMIZE with Stacker
-
-
- OVERVIEW: Use this procedure with the Quarterdeck Office Systems program
- OPTIMIZE to modify your config.sys and autoexec.bat files to
- load all possible programs and drivers into high memory. It is
- designed to be used directly from a SSWAPed boot drive.
-
- ISSUES/COMMENTS:
- This procedure is for the version of OPTIMIZE that ships with QEMM386 5.x.
- It will NOT work with the OPTIMIZE that ships with QEMM386 6.0.
-
- This procedure is NOT necessary if:
- 1. A Stacker drive is not installed on drive C:, or
- 2. A Stacker drive installed on drive C: is not being SSWAPed.
- For either of these situations, simply OPTIMZE according to the Quarterdeck
- instructions.
-
- Stacker version 2.0 users:
- If you are using the /sync option to SSWAP, this procedure will cause SSWAP
- to ask you if you want to update the changed config.sys and autoexec.bat.
- Select No each time you are asked during this procedure. The last time you
- boot (in step 11) the files will be identical and you won't be prompted.
-
- RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
- You will need to know which drive letter refers to your boot drive. This
- can be determined by running the Stacker utility SWAPMAP. One of the lines
- will look like...
-
- Drive x: was drive C: at boot time
-
- What ever letter is "x:" will be the boot drive. in the procedure below,
- the boot drive will be referred to as "x:".
-
- IF YOU ARE INSTALLING QEMM FOR THE FIRST TIME...
- After booting normally, exit any shell program you may be using and unswap
- your boot drive by entering: SSWAP C: x: Then install QEMM.
- DO NOT exercise the option to optimize at this time.
-
- STEP 1a IF YOU'VE JUST INSTALLED QEMM...
- Assuming you used the default installation options and the QEMM
- files are all in C:\QEMM, enter the commands below and reboot the
- computer.
- MKDIR x:\QEMM
- COPY C:\QEMM\*.* x:\QEMM
-
- STEP 1b IF QEMM WAS INSTALLED BEFORE STACKER then enter the command:
- COPY C:\QEMM\RSTRCFG.SYS x:\QEMM
-
- STEP 2 Enter the command: COPY x:\CONFIG.SYS C:\
-
- STEP 3 If the Stacker generated autoexec.bat is on drive C:, rename it to
- some other name using the REN command. Next copy your autoexec.bat
- file to C: by entering: COPY x:\AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\
-
- STEP 4 Run OPTIMIZE. Tell it to go ahead with it's step 1. When it
- presents you with the options for step 2, press <ESC> to return to
- the DOS prompt.
-
- STEP 5 Enter the following commands.
- COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS x:\
- COPY C:\OPT2.BAT x:\
- COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT x:\AE.BAT
- COPY C:\CONFIG.QDK C:\CONFIG.SYS
-
- STEP 6 Reboot the computer. When OPTIMIZE presents you with the options
- for step 3, press <ESC> to return to the DOS prompt.
-
- STEP 7 Enter the following commands.
- COPY C\CONFIG.QDK C:\CONFIG.SYS
- COPY x:\QEMM\LOADHI.OPT C:\QEMM
- COPY x:\OPT2.BAT C:\
- COPY x:\AE.BAT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- STEP 8 Reboot the computer. When OPTIMIZE presents you with the options
- for step 3, press <ESC> to return to the DOS prompt.
-
- STEP 9 Enter the following command.
- COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS x:\
-
- STEP 10 Reboot the computer.
-
- STEP 11 Enter the following commands, then reboot the computer one last time.
- COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS x:\
- COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT x:\
-
- STEP 12 If you wish to return to your prior configuration, enter the
- following commands.
- COPY C:\CONFIG.QDK x:\CONFIG.SYS
- COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.QDK C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
