The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX) for MS-DOS, versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.21, 2.22, 2.23
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
When it is loaded with the /E parameter, Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions for MS- DOS
(MSCDEX) does not set the EMS handle name field associated with the handle it
allocates for its CD-ROM buffers.
The MEM /D command reports the Expanded Memory Specification handle usage and
also shows the name of the handle's owner. When MSCDEX is loaded with Expanded
Memory support (the /E parameter), the EMS handle that it allocates does not
have an owner name associated with it.
MORE INFORMATION
================
MSCDEX is a LIM 3.0 compliant EMS user. The EMS API to set the handle name is a
LIM 4.0 EMS feature; therefore, MSCDEX is not designed to use it.
