- AutoSwap Utility Runtime Version 1.16
- Copyright 1988, 1989 The Lambda Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
-
- AutoSwap is a memory management utility which is integrated with version
- 3.5 of CADKEY. It increases the amount of memory available under the
- CADKEY CADL EXEC command. This allows users to run applications such as
- program editors and word processors, numerical computation programs
- and add on products, without exiting CADKEY.
-
- Using AS.exe and CADKEY.exe together provides about 500k under the
- EXEC command or within the SHELL.
-
-
- AS.exe is the main memory management program, while ASMEM.exe is a
- utility which prints the amount of memory available.
-
- To use CADKEY and AS do the following:
- 1. Copy the two files AS.exe and ASMEM.exe from the utility disk to
- the CADKEY directory.
-
- 2. Set an environmental varible to a scratch file path.
- "SET AS=<scratch file area>"
-
- This should be put in the autoexec.bat file of the system.
-
- 3. Run CADKEY using the CK.BAT file.

-
- The memory swapping will take place when an EXEC command within CADKEY is
- executed.
-
- There is a useful command option for the AS command which can optimize
- the execution of the swapping.
- "AS memsize CADKEY"
-
- memsize is the amount of memory in K bytes to free in the EXEC.
-
- Swapping also will take place much faster if the scratch file area is
- a virtual disk or ram disk.
-
- Warning:
- If a Terminate and Stay Resident program is executed while in the
- CADKEY shell, then it must be removed before swapping back to CADKEY.
- This is because CADKEY and AS expect the same amount of memory to be
- available before the swap occured.
