X-Hacker.org- XMS Specification (version 3.0) - <b>driver installation</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
DRIVER INSTALLATION

An XMS driver is installed by including a DEVICE= statement in the
machine's CONFIG.SYS file.It must be installed prior to any other
devices or TSRs which use it.  An optional parameter after the driver's
name (suggested name "/HMAMIN=") indicates the minimum amount of space
in the HMA a program can use.  Programs which use less than the minimum
will not be placed in the HMA.  A second optional parameter (suggested name
"/NUMHANDLES=") allows users to specify the maximum number of extended
memory blocks which may be allocated at any time.

NOTE: XMS requires DOS 3.00 or above.
