Hello! I work with an MS-DOS-_base_d word processor under Windows-XP Home. The programm runs basically without any problems. There is only a need for EMS-Memory in order to use dictionaries etc. But how does the command line has to be set in the Config.NT. The advise in the Config.NT tells me nothing at all and my try and error testing ended only with error. Maybe someone can help me with a tip. How does a functional command line for EMS memory looks in the Config.NT? EEM=??????????? I have plenty of memory on board, here the results of the memory manager MEM: 655360 Bytes available for MS-DOS 592864 Bytes maxim. Seize for Programm Performance 19922944 Bytes total continuous extended memory available 15580160 Bytes XMS-Memory available MS-DOS is resident in HMA Thak you for your help! Helmut

Hello! I work with an MS-DOS-_base_d word processor under Windows-XP Home. The programm runs basically without any problems.

The advise in the Config.NT tells me nothing at all and my try and error testing ended only with error. Maybe someone can help me with a tip. How does a functional command line for EMS memory looks in the Config.NT? For most purposes the commands in config.nt are the same as they would be in the config.sys file under MS-DOS. For EMS for DOS apps under Windows XP the following information is from the Windows XP Help and Support regarding EMS: ***** To create or change a program information file (PIF) Prior to creating or making changes to the PIF, please review the MS-DOS-_base_d program documentation. Changing the PIF affects how the program interacts with Windows. The program might only work correctly with specific default settings. Open My Computer. Do one of the following: If you want to create a program information file (PIF) for a program, locate the program and right-click it. Then click Properties and change the default settings to match the program requirements. If you want to change the settings of an existing PIF file, locate the shortcut to the program file and right-click it. Click Properties and make the appropriate changes.  Notes To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer. Creating a program information file (PIF) for an MS-DOS-_base_d program creates a shortcut to the program executable. All the settings saved in the PIF file are contained in the shortcut. To specify whether an MS-DOS-_base_d program starts in a full screen or in a window, change the Run properties on the Program (or Shortcut) tab. To view MS-DOS-_base_d program output on the screen faster, after clicking Properties in step 2, on the Screen tab, select Fast ROM emulation under Performance. Please review the documentation that came with your video card to ensure it supports Fast ROM emulation. To increase the performance of the MS-DOS-_base_d program, you can allocate more memory. To make this change, after clicking Properties in step 2, on the Memory tab, set Expanded (EMS) memory or Extended (XMS) memory to Auto, and no limit will be imposed. If you experience program errors, set the value in the Total window to 8192. For more information, click Related Topics. The Properties dialog box has replaced the PIF Editor used in earlier versions of Windows. ******* Good luck Ron Martell     Duncan B.C.    Canada

Helmut EMS Memory of today can be a lot of times not generated anymore because of hardware conflicts. The command: EMM=RAM shows no effect. Thaks a lot to Robert Riebisch who suggested the following webside:   http://www.phatcode.net/projects.php?id=102 EMS Magic is freeware and works excellent and gives me the full EMS memory of 16 MB.
