- Description:
- Geoworks version 1.2 works fine under DR DOS but it does require
- some special configuration. Files need to be set at 120. This
- may seem like a high figure but it will only use about 9K of RAM
- and if you are using EMM386 no impact need occur on conventional
- memory. Ensemble will not even begin with files equal to 30.
-
- TaskMAX can be initialized only with CTRL-ESC. No other hot keys
- can be used. Also end-users may find that they have no keyboard
- in their other tasks. We have also received reports that even if
- it does switch TaskMAX will eventually fail. At this time we
- cannot recommend the use of TaskMAX with Geoworks Ensemble
- v.1.2.
-
- Any version of Geoworks prior to 1.2 will not work under DR DOS 6.
-
- Geoworks uses XMS memory when available and will use the HMA if
- it is available.
-
- There have been some reports that Geoworks will not run when
- SuperPCK is loaded into upper memory (/&U+). If you are having
- trouble loding Ensemble try the switch /&U-. Also if you are
- using SuperPCK in expanded memory (/A+) advanced disk transfers
- must be turned off with a /H-.
