- I : display more info about memory allocation strategy
- C : display current memory allocation strategy
- L : display software licence
- n : change memory allocation strategy, n can have one of the following values :
-
- 1 = First fit low
- 2 = Best fit low

- 4 = First fit high
- 5 = Best fit high
- 6 = Last fit high
- 7 = First fit high only
- 8 = Best fit high only
- 9 = Last fit high only
-
- Changing memory allocation strategy can result in a more effective use of
- available memory, not all strategies are available on some configurations.
-
- Explanation of the different memory allocation strategies
-
- The strategies can be divided into three groups
-
- Fit low : search conventional memory (DOS default)
- Fit high : search upper-memory first, then conventional memory
- Fit high only: search upper-memory only
-
- Each of these three can be divided in to three groups
-
- First fit: search the memoryblock with the lowest address large enough
- to contain the program or data (DOS default)
- Best fit : search the block that most closely resembles the required size
- Last fit : search the block with the highest address large enough
-
- These groups make up the nine combinations listed above.
