Using MemMaker with MS-DOS Multiple Configuration Menus |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
SUMMARY
You can use MemMaker with multiple configurations, but doing so requires
that you create separate configuration files to run MemMaker. The "MS-DOS
User's Guide" for version 6.0 and 6.2 explains this procedure in detail in
Chapter 6 (pages 151 to 154).
This article explains why these separate configuration files are necessary.
MORE INFORMATION
MemMaker removes all references to memory managers, the FILES=
statement, the BUFFERS= statement, and the DOS= statement. It then
adds the following statements at the top of the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE <settings>
buffers=<setting>
files=<setting>
dos=umb
lastdrive=<setting>
FCBS=<setting>
[Everything else remains in the same order]
NOTE: The <setting> and <settings> are determined by MemMaker for your
specific installation and configuration.
Because of this design, MemMaker cannot work with configuration files
containing Multi-Config sections that reference multiple memory
managers or have different memory configurations.
MemMaker also uses a program called SIZER.EXE to determine memory
requirements for device drivers and terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR)
programs. MemMaker analyzes the contents of the entire CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files (regardless of Multi-Config headings) to calculate the
optimum memory configuration for your system. Because the files are viewed
as a single unit, each individual configuration will not be optimized after
you run MemMaker.
