- Description:
- There are certain conditions under which you may wish to not
- load DR DOS system files into HMA (High Memory Area) due to
- the fact that other applications may need to use it. Some of
- these applications include Desqview and XMSNET (Novell Netware)
- Another application under which you may wish to not use the HMA
- is if you are trying to run Windows in enhanced mode on a 2
- megabyte computer. Since Windows requires 1 megabyte of XMS
- memory you cannot use any of the HMA.
-
- Example:
- To keep DRDOS 6.0 out of the HMA:
-
-
- 1) Make sure that the /MH option is not used on any of the DRDOS
- 6.0 commands that support it. This includes SHELL, SHARE and
- Delwatch. Use the /MU option instead on these files.
-
- 2) Make sure that the HIBUFFERS command is not used in the
- CONFIG.SYS file. This command will use the HMA even if the Kernel
- is not put there with /BDOS=FFFF.
-
- 3) Make sure that the /BDOS option reads: /BDOS=AUTO.
-
- 386 computers can also use HIDOS.SYS with /B=AUTO. This will
- prevent you from hiloading but this is not an issue with 3rd party
- memory managers.
